Bonny Miss is a family-run business that sells handcrafted crochet goods made unique through the close attention-to-detail given to every product. They began by doing local markets in the Cincinnati area, and have now expanded to an online store-front for their business.
deliverables
Bonny Miss asked for a refreshed look for their social media branding preceding their grand website opening, incorporating elements from their original logo design, as well as updating signage and business cards for in-person markets.

process
The logo and accompanying image inspired my brand refresh for Bonny Miss. Traditionally, Bonny Miss relies on shades of red and pink in its branding. Through my research, I discovered that many small craft businesses favor these colors, particularly pink. As a derivative of red, pink conveys passion and youthfulness—qualities that resonate with Bonny Miss’s young target audience. To further emphasize this youthful energy and broaden the palette, I incorporated the full rainbow spectrum into the brand’s visual language.  
The text 'Bonny Miss' in playful script with a red heart dotting the 'i' in Miss, above five cute mushroom characters each with red caps and white spots, a small green frog, a small hedgehog, and a tiny bee hovering above them.
The original logo featured black and red, but I recommended shifting from a stark #000000 black to a warmer, more inviting dark brown. Red appears consistently throughout the brand elements to maintain brand recognition. To create custom sticker illustrations, I asked about the company’s best-selling products; the top picks were their hanging possums and big booty frogs. I designed stickers for those, as well as for the company mascot—the Mushroom—showcasing the brand’s signature playful style.

Throughout the company's brand design, I also incorporate dashed lines that represent "cut along the dotted line" instructions, a staple of crafts, and use the heart in their logo as a distinctive element throughout.
