Rutledge Jewellers
The challenge with any rebrand of a successful business is to create something new that doesn't lose the value of the original work in the process. Rutledge Jewellers has a 30+ year history in the town of Uxbridge in addition to an eye-catching storefront in a prominent downtown location.
To tackle this rebrand, we looked at what elements of the original logo stand out to customers so we could bring those forward in the new design. We kept the iconic script for the “R” and “J” pulling them together to create a signature icon that can be used as a stand-alone element or together with the full name.
Next, we selected a complimentary font to use for the full name. We wanted something timeless and classic but strong at the same time. Rutledge Jewellers occupies a beautiful heritage building in Uxbridge and immediately outside the store sits a large traditional clock providing a focal point as you enter the downtown core. This nod to the timelessness of past design is reflected in the new logo design.
