On Branding I think I May Have A Label Obsession?

15/04/2019

When I was 6 years old I carefully sellotaped library tickets into all my children’s books! They had my name on, and I even made little paper pockets for them to sit in, just like in the real ‘big girls’ Library! Occasionally I will  come across these tiny tickets written by my childish hand and it makes me laugh out loud, because even today I love to brand everything. So I guess ‘if you like it then you’d better put a label on it’ right? I blame blogging for encouraging my ongoing obsession with labels and branding today!

Today it is called Branding…

Back then I was putting my stamp on my possessions, (yes I had a little library stamp too from my post office set!) In hindsight, perhaps the arrival of a new baby brother had made me ultra possessive of  my toys?

Today we call it branding, to put it simply we are making our own unique style instantly recognisable to others by having consistent and recognisable content, fonts and images, aka logos and monograms.

My 2016 LDJ Logo design:

In 2016 after buying my own domain, I decided I needed a real logo. I approached a lady I very much admired for her simple but contemporary designs on insta, and she agreed to work with me.

She started from scratch and even designed the font herself and drawing it by hand! We then moved on to style and colours, I knew what I wanted, simple, clean versatile, black and white, with a hint of ‘serenity blue’ as a highlight. I also wanted the option of changing the highlight colour at anytime.

[perfectpullquote align=”full” bordertop=”false” cite=”” link=”” color=”” class=”” size=””]A good design should always be able to stand the test of time.[/perfectpullquote]

 

From the initial drafts (see above ) we worked out a clean and fresh logo and tag line and then it was developed into a digital graphic file.  As you can see from my tag line I blogged about sewing back then too. The logo and monogram you see today is the same one we designed together 3 years ago! A good design should always be able to stand the test of time.

Where I order my Stickers and cards from:

Now the fun bit…once you have a logo and all its accessories on file, you are ready to order your stickers and cards.

Moo

You probably all know Moo for business cards and postcards? My top tip is to ask for a sample pack to see what they offer in terms of quality and choice. Having had many different cards through the years I now go for quality over quantity. I love MOO.

Sticker You.

My latest *Roll Labels were kindly gifted to me by StickerYou. They have a vast selection of products to put your shiny new logo on. They also do wall decals and temporary tatoo’s now there is a good idea! I also rather like the look of their water bottles…

I’m finally getting back to writing and more importantly enjoying writing blog posts! 
This week I’ve written about how you can save money by buying tablecloths instead of fabric when sewing linen. 
In case you don’t sew I’ve also included a few linen dresses and comfy wide trousers (my next make )for you to peruse too. 
Let me know what you think, it’s a short read and you can find the link in my stories and in my bio under ‘latest blog post’

Third my favourite #validress by @patternfantastique

Lurking in old alleys & having a good hair day. 
Wearing my handmade version of an Arket kaftan dress. Challenged myself to see if I could do it. I did, win win. My version cost £30 theirs was £69. My friend Amanda  @simply.start.living has the real deal and the linen is much nicer. But overall it’s a fair copy of the original (imo) what say you? 
.
Fabric a linen mix from @sew__jessalli used the #arraytop pattern @papercutpatterns I also made a belt for it.

This little boy is nearly 11 years old. The time has flown. He is healthy for his age but is beginning to suffer with arthritis. 
He finds all the best soft squishy cushions to lay on and loves this Moroccon pouffe!
We are reasearching care of older dogs and wondering if anyone has advice on making life easier for arthritic older dogs. Any suggestions very much appreciated. The vet suggested anti inflammatory meds.
