Front Door Stays is real. It's a new holiday let business, and this is the brand we made for it.

The brief

Holiday let management for owners who want the income without the work, from a safe pair of hands.

Owners are handing over their homes and their keys, so the brand had to feel calm, trustworthy and a little bit boutique. Guests see it too, inside every home. So it starts at the front door, the one thing every stay has in common.

01

Logo suite

A solid arched door with a key cut out of it, beside a name that stacks into a neat block. The n in front is a tiny doorway too, and the architrave runs the name round a door frame for signs and covers.

The architrave: FRONT DOOR STAYS over the top of a brass door frame, HOLIDAY LETS and LOOKED AFTER down the sides, and the door with the key in the middle The architrave
Small sizes

The app icon, profile picture and browser tab. Letters blur below 32px, so the tab uses the door.

Smallest sizes

The main logo goes down to 120px wide on screen or 25 mm in print. The monogram goes down to 32px or 8 mm.

02

The fds monogram

The f rises, arches over and comes down as the d, so the two letters build a doorway the same shape as the door in the logo. It's the one to use most, on the app icon, profile pictures, stickers and cards.

03

Colour and type

Green and plaster do most of the work, like a hallway with a painted front door. Brass is the jewellery, saved for the door, thin lines and small details.

The brand in use

Owners meet the brand on a leaflet and a business card. Guests meet it inside each home, on the cover of the welcome guide.

05

Logo animation

The door drops onto plaster and the key cuts out of it. Green floods out through the keyhole, the colourways flip past, then the logo drops in and holds.
