Artisan Windows & Doors is a local retailer of luxury windows, doors, and hardware in San Luis Obispo County providing the highest quality products and customer service to the Central Coast.


As Artisan surpassed their 10-year business anniversary, it became apparent that they needed to broaden and improve their digital presence. The client came to me with a need for a radical transformation to refresh their brand and gain client traction.

The client sought a logo that communicates luxury. Drawing inspiration from serif typography, I designed a custom typeface that balances modernity with sophistication. The new logo subtly integrates a ‘window’ motif into the door knob of the letter ‘A,’ which also serves as a standalone logomark, per the client’s request.
