w@w and our new email

I'm excited to say that you'll find our logoswithlove ad within the next Weddings at Work Primer!  It's actually great to be part of such a wonderful network.  Having been a "wawie" myself, I'd want to pay homage to all the help and warmth my fellow bride-to-be's gave.  It's an overwhelming sea of support, especially during the inevitable stresses of wedding planning.

The network also served as a great launching point for this passion of mine - logo design and illustration.  LogoswithLove wouldn't have been born without it!  So cheers to Ma'am Benz, for allowing such a world of friendship to be created and grow.  And to all the bride-to-be's out there, don't forget to breathe!

On another note, I've created a new email address for LogoswithLove orders and inquiries.  Yey!  To ensure that service is provided timely and requests are received without risk of getting mushed up in my personal emails.  Payment scheme remains to be via bank deposit.  All negotiations will have to be initiated via the email above. 

That's all for now.  Share the love!

inspiration from old wallpaper

I am a firm believer that anything can inspire anything.  When we were planning our wedding, we knew we wanted it to be classic touched by a theme of vintage.  Going through endless swatches, it finally came down to muted gold and pewter.  Friends ask me do describe what the hell that meant, and I would say, think of old book pages and tarnished silver spoons. 

Anyway, I digress from the main point of this post.  For those planning their wedding, their colors and themes, why not look at the beautiful combinations of rare wallpaper prints?  I happened to stumble across this site, Secondhand Rose which has an online catalogue lovely wallpapers of different themes.  It is a rich source of inspiration, I believe, for anyone searching for a design peg, palette or even just a tonality for their wedding (or anything else, for that matter).  Enjoy!

A is for August

As part of some inspiration to start off the month, we'll be posting monthly card layouts that could serve as design and/or color cues.  I was feeling relatively desaturated this afternoon, with the schizophrenic weather.  The skies are grey and cloudless, while the sun is somehow shining very aggressively.

So our first monthly card is a bit straightforward and muted.  Slightly art-deco because of the outline-styled monogram and background pattern.  And yet classic, because of the capped serifs.

Outside, the wind is calling for rain.  Inside, I'm yearning to be hugged by white fluffy clouds.
