Rebrand for Beautiful Cornish Holiday Cottages

We thought we'd show you one of our projects, Rooke Cottages, a family run company that we recently completed rebranding. They have beautiful five star cottages not far from our studio. I started with the logo, using muted shades inspired by traditional paint colours and created a little motif of a leaf communicating the idyllic countryside location. I used both a contemporary and a traditional font showing the modern feel of the interiors of these old stone cottages. The beautiful old farm buildings have been completely renovated and furnished to a really high standard.

Next we focussed on the website. Our client wanted to let their pictures to do the talking, so I kept the design very minimal, with the palette of greys and soft greens and plenty of white space. A large sliding image dominates the home page with a snippet from the blog and a featured cottage.

Rooke have eight accommodations available, seven cottages based on their family working farm and a well appointed apartment just down the road in the historic town of Wadebridge, overlooking the river. To showcase these beautiful home-from-homes I created an 'Our Cottages' page with a taster thumbnail that links to a gallery for each. The client themselves can then add new pictures to the carousel. Also you can check the availability and tariff and then book the holiday all on line.

The site also has pages dedicated to facilities and the local area. As well as the contact page with illustrated maps, I designed for the client a bespoke blog in keeping with the look of their site. The blog has an archive and tags for ease of navigating.

We are quite proud of the brand we have created with our clients, and look forward to the next step, designing signage to welcome people to their holiday!
