Intimate Weddings
IntimateWeddings.com is a high traffic wedding planning website for brides planning small weddings. (You can check it out at http://www.intimateweddings.com)
We focus heavily on small wedding venues, DIY project ideas, as well as real weddings (all less than 75 guests.) We like to highlight budget weddings that don't sacrifice style. We're also big on vintage wedding ideas.
We've been quoted in Cosmo, The Globe and Mail, and many other national newspapers.
We appeal mainly to engaged women 25-35 years old.
We love whimsical design, but we also like design that is clean and sophisticated.
What we don’t want in the logo? Don’t want birds. Don’t want Damask. Don’t want parenthesis.
As far as colors go, we like light blue/brown (like the one we currently have) or light blue/black as a color scheme, but we are very open to other ideas.
Keep in mind that the logo has to work well in the banner heading, which will appear at the top of the website.
We're thinking the logo could use some type of graphic component, but we'll leave it up to you to decide if it’s necessary.
In the current logo, the word “intimate” is smaller than the word “wedding”, which we thought was a clever idea. However, if you have something else in mind – we are very open to new ideas.
We're very much in love with Keri Smith http://www.kerismith.com/portfoliostuff/map.htm and we also love Penelope Illustration http://penelopeillustration.com/advertising/
A hand lettered logo is a possibility.
Our new tagline is Small is Beautiful.. but we don't want this tagline in the logo.
I have attached our current logo.
PS We will have lots of graphic design work coming up in the next few months!
