A Purple House

A Bay Area maker of crochet patterns and curious handmade goods, named after her very real, very purple house. She needed a brand that looked professional at markets and schools without losing its playful streak.

The A Purple House wordmark in lilac on deep plum

The challenge

The business started with crochet pieces for friends and family and grew into markets and work with local schools and businesses. Its old logo was a traced photo of the purple house itself. It needed something professional that still felt a little unexpected, stayed timeless instead of trendy, read clearly at favicon size, and could stretch to new product lines later.

The approach

I started with the symbol, since the mark had to work without words. The house roofline doubles as a lidded jar, a nod to the curated oddities the shop is known for, and negative space forms the door. For the type, I chose a bold, all-caps serif that is easy to read and feels a bit like a vintage poster. The palette keeps it to two colors: lilac on deep plum, with black for sticker-style outlines.

The result

A complete logo suite in four color versions, plus a palette, a font pairing and a one-page brand sheet. Every file came in JPG, PNG, SVG and AI, ready for pattern PDFs, product labels, market signage and Instagram.
