Leodamais is a luxury self catering holiday house situated overlooking the stunning Leodamais beach in Port Ellen, Islay, home to six luxury bedroom’s split over two impressive properties – The Wee House & The Big House.
The luxurious and sophisticated family friendly properties have had absolutely no expense spared in creating these elegant homes in one of the most famous locations in Scotland, and needed a new brand and website to reflect the dedication to quality that can be found in the house. Design Hero was tasked with investigating a new brand for the property, and develop a website to follow suit with guest information, and the capacity for online booking.
The branding for Leodamais House was built around the unique location on Islay, and the tagline "Luxury on Islay". The property, split into two subhouses, were each given a logo which features the elevation of the house picked out in negative space against the bay over which they each look. The colours were chosen carefully to reflect Islay's natural splendour, and the landscape constructed from geometric shapes to maintain simplicity to the logo.
The fonts selected were chosen to reflect the brand's luxury target market and high quality renovation of this holiday home. A traditional serif font for headers contrasts with a more modern geometric font used for body text.
Design Hero provided design for a range of branded stationery including
Standard size, premium spot UV finish with gloss highlights finish
Branded Christmas cards were created by customizing the logo to create a winter scene.
Design Hero created a promotional posters and flyers to advertise the house through print and digital mediums.
Design Hero also created adverts which were published in various online and printed magazines, newspapers and publications to promote Leodamais across a range of platforms.
Design Hero was asked to design a new website from scratch on a Content Management System which could be easily managed by the end client on an ongoing basis, whilst still providing a high level of visual impact expected from the website of a luxury self catering holiday home.
It has been a pleasure working with Nick recently on our Luxury on Islay branding and website. We are very pleased how it all looks and the process was very simple. As always Nick guided us through with great ideas and creativity. This is our second branding project and website with Design Hero and now looking forward to the next! Keep up the good work Nick.
