After months of ruminating, Peak Consulting, a business that specializes in beef cattle nutrition (dad joke of the century 😂) decided to connect with Simple Livestock and let us take the lead on a company rebranding project that included a new logo and print material.
Designing and creating simple logos is like writing a short letter, it takes days, weeks, sometimes even months to accomplish. We’ll admit, this logo isn’t one of our sleekest most minimal designs but it’s definitely one of our favorites. Sometimes you just have to throw in all the components; trees, mountains, snow, cows... more trees, and hope that whatever comes out on the other end looks better than the Big Bluestem that Harvey the Polled Herford just consumed.
The image below displays a few of our early rounds of minimalistic logo designs.
After a few rounds of minimalistic sketches, we (and our client) decided that our approach was slightly off target and this is when we decided to take the cornucopia approach mentioned above. Trees, cattle, mountains, gradients, snow, and a very bold font were added to the mix and blended in classic fashion with a combination of Procreate (the drawing software) tools on the iPad Pro and advanced pathfinder tools in Adobe Illustrator, to come up with a multi-layered, very handsome logo and letterhead. We’re obviously biased but we think the new brand looks great on a set of business cards!
the below image displays the final Peak Consulting logo in both full color and grey-scale versions.

One month and some change later, Simple Livestock was able to deliver a beautifully designed, hand-crafted logo and brand kit to Peak Consulting.
