If you remember, not too long ago I donated my design services to Front Porch Folks to help new and existing businesses create or make over thier business identity. I’m happy to announce that Front Porch Folks awarded their first grant to recipient Sherry Dawson of One Great Gift.


The Merry Bird…pen, ink and design worked closely with Sherry to create a new vision for her existing drop ship service logo. Her vision is also being expanded on by the Website design services of Firelight Web Studio’s Laura Wheeler.


First step was to create a logo for her existing online business One Great Gift. Sherry wanted to emphasize her custom hand tied bows and drop ship gift services. She wanted a logo icon that was sophisticated and appealing and not “cutesie”.


Secondly, she requested that no Typography be used in the logo design.
The parachute with package (as shown ) blends both a sophistication and “hand touched” quality. This logo will be featured on her new website and business materials.


And finally, onto the website design with FireLight Web Studio! Success to you Sherry Dawson of One Great Gift! I look forward to seeing your new website and hearing about the other great services that you have won as a Front Porch Folk grant recipient.
