Heart's Landing Ranch Logo

I was commissioned to design a brand new logo for Heart's Landing Ranch, a non-profit organization involving children and horses in the Sacramento area. After brainstorming with the owner, she told me she wanted a logo that had a lot of symbolism and somehow incorporated the ideas "faith, hope, and love" along with a horse. This at first was a struggle to combine all of these ideas into one logo without sacrificing simplicity. But after sketching out various ideas, I settled on and refined one into the final design. Below, you can see my process from sketchbook to the use of Adobe Shape CC to bring my sketches into the digital world to perfecting it in Illustrator
