Founder Rosie Morison came up with her business idea while taking a cycling and camping trip along coast from Vancouver to San Fransisco.
In homage to her adventures in North America, I drew inspiration from the linework and undulations of map contours. I anchored the letters of the logotype like rocks in a river of flowing linework, as they weave around them and generate a sense of movement.
The illustration in the final logo design can be read in multiple ways, as the shape also forms mountains under a starry night sky—a reference to the mountain ranges where the tea is sourced.
These are some of my early concepts, where I explored how to capture the movement & flow of liquid, and how it would all take shape together.
