I opened my little etsy shop way back in February. I made a little logo and a shop banner and some business cards, and I was a happy girl. At the time, I had ideas of the direction I wanted to go with this. Five months later, I'm starting to see that the plans I have are changing. Not in a bad way, at all, just different. When I opened my etsy shop, I was a little concerned that the items and branding were only featuring one aspect of my personality, which was a problem, since my personal style chances from one day to the next. (one day i wear ruffles and lace, and the next day i wear a t-shirt with dinosaurs on it) Anyway, right now I'm in the process of re-branding by shop and maybe even the blog. I want my whole personality to show through- the fun, the classy, the dorky, and bad-ass sides of me. :D *maybe the bad-ass side and the dorky side go together*
Here is the first step in this process. I made new business cards! *yaaay*
here are the OLD ones:
i was going for modern with the old logo, but I'm not sure if that really fit the merchandise.
here are the NEW ones!
I really think this design works better with the items in my shop. I use a doily as a prop in a lot of my photos, and I stamp it on my gift bags when I put an order out in the mail. So I used a doily punch to stick with the theme. (as well as make my cards stand out) and I used a hand-written font to stress that my items are handmade by me personally. The pink makes this design more feminine, and I kept the tan and brown colors because I want to keep it natural. What do you think?? Comments? Suggestions?
