Winchester Western Wear Logo Design
logo design process
When designing for Winchester Western Wear our focus was on creating a brand that is clean and modern with a hint of western feel. The colour palette is natural with earthy hues. Our drive was to really showcase the quality of the apparel.
The logo is a typographic logo, with WINCHESTER in slab serif font for a modern feel on the classic western font. The fine letterforms gives a slightly more feminine feel, which is balanced by out using the more masculine capitals. The letters are spaced luxuriously wide, providing a more elegant composition with the air of quality.
Western Wear appears underneath, in a casually hand-scripted text, lowercase to provide the brand with a more approachable feel. Although scripted, it’s not overtly feminine, mirroring the gender harmony created in WINCHESTER.
The colour palette is a cool and soft deep taupe, but due to the simplicity and clean lines, this brand could be adapted to a wide variety of colours. These same clean lines mean it’s equally as strong when reversed.

business card design
The business card has been trimmed slightly thinner, to compliment the landscape nature of the brand. The front contains the reversed out logo by itself to maximise the brand exposure and the contact details on the reverse. We recommended printing this card on an uncoated card stock, which would provide a more raw natural look, and add a tactile texture to the card. Overall this clean logo gives the feel of quality with an approachable edge, again with an air of heritage and balanced gender appeal.
