Petal & Kiln Jewelry Co.

Branding & Logo Design

I developed the 2023 rebrand for Brenna Rettberg’s handmade jewelry business in Cleveland, Ohio.

Taking cues from her work with pressed flowers and sculpted clay, I presented the name Petal & Kiln Jewelry Co. with a logo that captures the natural, playful, and sophisticated beauty of her brand.

Here’s a look at the development process.

Research

I created a list of terms and concepts with Brenna’s guidance, searching for elements to inspire the look and feel of her new brand.

Mood Board

I curated a compilation of floral-inspired logos, illustrations, and branding that we used to narrow down visual concepts.

Color Palette

I pulled colors from Brenna’s product imagery to create a minimal, earthy palette that incorporates her signature sage green.

Iterations

Once the fundamental concept of the design was defined, I began testing out various earrings, colors, and text effects.
