Logo design for The Hudson Writers Residency.

The Hudson Writers Residency is a creative writing community and residency located in the cozy village of Coxsackie, Upstate New York. The brand is designed to be inviting and familiar, reflecting the warmth and camaraderie of the community and staff.

The typeface is inspired by those found in timeless novels and old printing presses, evoking a sense of literary tradition. To connect HVWR with the local businesses and history of Coxsackie, we incorporated an owl as the main feature of the brand. Owls are deeply woven into the culture and rich history of the area. Additionally, a quill pen nib is included to create a playful amalgamation, symbolizing the creativity and the endless inspiration that the area has to offer.
