Pottery Barn Kids retail system
Character, San Francisco, California, 2001
Description
Pottery Barn Kids, the brand extension for Pottery Barn, provides casual furnishings and textiles that emphasize fine materials, sophisticated color palettes and an eclectic, well-designed aesthetic. In capturing the essence of the Pottery Barn Kids line of products, we designed a branding system that was sophisticated yet whimsical. We created original icons illustrating children interacting with Pottery Barn Kids products in a playful way. The icons were inspired by Norman Rockwell’s spirit of celebrating childhood and graced all product packaging and collateral, including boxes, shopping bags, labels, tags and brochures.
Juror Notes
“When I saw this, I said, ‘I wish I had done it.’ It gets the human into the design, while satisfying all the things a good logo should do.”
