mistletoe marketplace 2024

[logo development, branding, & deliverables]

Mistletoe is the Christmas event of the season, presented yearly by the Junior League of Jackson since 1981. They approached Mad Genius wanting polished and refined looking branding and marketing materials for their 2024 “Christmas in New York” themed marketplace. I was the lead designer on the project and created the logo and brand guidelines as well as a majority of the marketing materials.
The theme set for 2024’s Mistletoe Marketplace was “All is Bright” and the client’s was vision for the branding revolved around a New York Christmas vibe. When starting off with the logo sketching I knew I wanted the mark to be elegant and sophisticated. I experimented with several different looks, but ended up landing on a thin serif with graceful flourishes. For the color palette, the client wanted colors that were more of a slight nod to the usual Christmas palette. I went with muted cool tone colors with a pop of bright red and yellow. To round off the rest of the branding I added elements like borders and patterns that were inspired from 1920’s Art Deco style.
