the creative process
With a serene color palette, modern typography and combining soft and strong design elements, we represented the inclusivity, safety and strength that is at the forefront of their advocacy.
Merryman House opted for a monogram style icon, using the letters of their name to create a meaningful symbol that embodies their organization. I choose a strong, modern typeface to represent strength and security. The larger “M” with the “H” inside symbolizes shelter and protection. The half circle with 3 rays showcases home, safety, sunrise/new beginning with the three lines for their core values - Saving, Building, Changing Lives.
season & shadow
Season & Shadow is a spice blend and work program from Merryman House. Their goal is to provide survivors with work experience and to help sustain vital programs that Merryman House provides. More than just spices, Season & Shadow is a powerful expression of healing and growth, allowing Merryman House to support survivors through every season of their journey toward safety, self-sufficiency, and long-term success.

kind words
We loved Amanda’s process from start to finish. The information-gathering she did up front was thoughtful and thorough, and the input we got to give halfway through the conceptual process gave us a small idea of what to expect from the final product. When we did see the final product, we were pleasantly surprised by how many of our ideas she was able to incorporate in ways we never would have thought of alone. She was responsive throughout, kept to the agreed-upon timeline, and delivered a logo package we feel truly reflects our organization’s services and values.
