Annie's Goat Hill Handcrafted Soaps Logo
A wonderful young woman, a busy college student, who once did a watercolor of my late boxer, Samson, drew the pen and ink of one of my nubian does. She did a beautiful job! She wouldn’t accept much money at all, and she even had to buy new ink and pens to do the job. Then she claimed to not “be very good!” I disagree.
I want my packaging to be simple, green as possible, and decided to stamp each soap box with my company logo. I had a vision of the logo. I wanted the lettering to arch around the pen and ink artwork. I found a company online that accepted the pen and ink. I uploaded the file to a template for a stamp. The good Lord was watching over me…lo and behold, the arched lettering was available. Within minutes there it was, my logo.
When developing a company logo it is best to keep it simple. Take a peek around, look at common items around you as if with a new sets of eyes. For example, look at the Bic log0, or the Pepsi logo. Once I sat in my friend’s garage and looked at the cans of lubricants and spray paints on his work bench. Napa has a simple logo. Logos are amazingly simple, and they identify the brand of a product instantly. The logo itself actually can quickly make or break a consumer’s sales decision (if they stick with particular brands). My logo isn’t so simple, and the name is very long…but I’ll keep it!

You are fortunate to have had a friend who did such a good job on your original logo. It seems perfect for you and your business , and unique . So you hand stamp each box? Truly, your soap making is a labor of love!
Someone to draw the logo and the lettering available, yes, you were very lucky.
I like the logo. It simply says everything you need to know. It’s perfect.
What a blessing – that is a perfect, simple logo letting people know where your product begins – with a lovely goat. I like it a lot – yes product logos need to be memorable – the Nike swoosh and NewBalance NB – and now Annie’s Goat Hill Soap. Seriously – you got the right kind of image for a pure and simple product. Thanks for commenting on my blog – simplicity is a Godly attribute and one we seem to make SO complicated.
yes, I think her work is wonderful
Madam, just like your soap… you logo is perfect.
How neat!

Oh my Mary…..just got my box of sweet things – and immediately I tried the goat’s milk body creme lotion!!!!!! AHHHHHH….it’s what my tired dry skin needed. Soaked it right up. I’ll be ordering more for gifts to be sent.
I’m so excited to have met you, know you’re heart and to buy from your store!
Blessings…Lylah
Your logo is very nice. She is talented and did an excellent job Mary. I love it and it fits your business.
Thank you. I hope my friend finds her calling some day. I feel she is good, but right now this type of thing is not what she wants.
Lylah…I am so glad you liked it!!
