N Shelley
Centenary logo & campaign elements

This small boutique needed a logo and campaign to celebrate its centenary.

In this day and age, most retailers are lucky to be around for 20 years. N Shelley boutique has proudly served its loyal customers for not twenty, not fifty, but one hundred years - and all from the same shop. 2024 marked the centenary and the logo needed to be elegant and memorable.

The creative solution was to use beautiful serif numerals with a twist - the seamstress’ needle and thread quite literally weaves itself into the design, giving a sense of heritage and history. The use of rose gold adds to the premuim feel and the result was a campaign look that was launched in early 2024 and is still in use today.

The identity for the centenary featured on socials as well as in a dedicated window display that celebrated the heritage and history of the store.

The boutique's exterior featured a mural concept showcasing the founder's story with original photographs and the proposed typeface.

“I love all you have done regarding the logo and applying it to our packaging and signage and your suggested font. The side wall ideas are great too...”
