Logo, Icon & Typography for Premium Leather Journal Brand

Posted last month

Worldwide

Summary

About the brand The brand is a premium leather journal cover brand with a dark, moody, layered aesthetic. The name references both the deep burgundy colour of the leather and the ancient bookmaking term for a bound document. Think aged botanical prints, Victorian illustration, wax seals, fine line engravings, antique apothecary labels. The feeling is similar to dark academia. Considered, intimate, slightly antique. Nothing clean, minimal, or corporate. What I need This is not a full brand identity project. I do not need brand guidelines, mood boards, or strategy documents. I need three specific deliverables only: 1. Logo icon / brand mark We have an initial concept idea of a fine line plum illustration with a letter B embedded within it — referencing both the brand name and the deep burgundy colour of the product. However this is not a fixed direction. We are open to other creative approaches that fit the aesthetic described above. We want to see what a designer with experience in this world would propose. 2. Wordmark An aged serif with character and history. Slightly irregular stroke weights. The kind of type found on Victorian botanical prints or old apothecary labels. Not a clean modern serif. 3. Font recommendation 1-2 typefaces for use across the brand beyond the logo. Google Fonts or commercially licensable. Technical requirements SVG and PNG files, transparent background, high resolution Source file in AI or Figma Must work in single colour — cream on deep burgundy and reverse Must work as a blind emboss on leather Must work small as a watermark and dust bag stamp Who I'm looking for Someone whose portfolio shows vintage, botanical, or fine line illustration work. Experience with dark academia adjacent aesthetics — gothic, apothecary, Victorian, antiquarian, heritage brand identity. Not minimalist, not modern, not tech or wedding brands. Important This is a fixed price agreement only. No hourly rates. Please quote your fixed price for the three deliverables listed above and attach 2-3 examples of previous work that is closest in feel to this brief. Thankyou
