Elixir Aesthetics

A bewitching brand identity for an alternative skincare brand

Logo Design, Illustration, and Hand Lettering for Small Business

I'm excited to share this recent branding project for Elixir Aesthetics, a skincare brand with a bewitching twist.

‍

The Design Process

  • Hand-lettered the gothic logotype, crafting each ligature, stroke, and serif as a component in Figma
  • Streamed the entire process on ClawsxCode with Joi Jetson
  • Illustrated the ornate frame in Procreate to achieve a vintage, witchy vibe


Client Brief

The goal was to blend an alternative, magical aesthetic with the clean, professional feel of a modern spa. We paired the gothic lettering with a sans-serif font to strike this balance.

‍

Applications

This versatile logo is designed for various uses, including vinyl door decals, business cards, and event announcements.
