When asked to propose ideas for a new logo for the Smuts House Museum, I was immediately drawn to the charm and character of the building itself. The pitched roof and front entrance of this historic Colonial home served as the central inspiration. Among several concepts, the hand-traced, illustrated version stood out as the most authentic—capturing the warmth and heritage of the museum through clean, detailed linework. This approach highlights the architectural beauty of the house while lending a timeless, handcrafted feel to the brand.
