I explored logo iterations that could be described as inviting, natural, and location-specific.
Round 1
After critiquing first round iterations as a class, color iterations of the top five were produced.

Round 2
Our main stakeholder, Gale, shared his thoughts that the logo should be “playfully scientific.” My group decided to rethink our logo designs and I began sketching a new direction so that the logo looked more like that of a research institution than a tourist destination.
Adjectives we decided to expand upon for this iteration were “structured, inviting, and clean,” along with “playfully scientific.”

Final LogoThis design was inspired by the geometric appearance of molecular structures. With all of the circular “leaves” making up the tree, the logo embodies the idea that Springsbury Farm is multifaceted and com-posed of many parts that effectively work together as a unit. The logo’s bright colors are inviting, and the typeface is easy to read at far distances and on signage.

Website
Initial PlanningBefore designing any mockups of the website in Illustrator, I first decided on a general site map and then sketched out possible website comps by hand. The general design of the website was created with a CMS in mind, so that it could be easily coded and implemented through Wordpress.

Final IterationsThe color scheme was made darker and the layout was modified according to feedback from critique.

Background
Buildings and Gardens
Casey Tree Farm was originally part of a 5-million-acre tract of land owned by Lord Thom-as Fairfax, 6th Lord of Fairfax of Cameron. Over time, the estate was subdivided and sold. Following the death of Lord Fairfax, the remaining land was con� scated by the Common-wealth of Virginia and put up for sale to the public.
Historical records indicate several prominent individuals owned and resided at the farm including John Holker, French consul general to the U.S., from 1781 until Charles Mc-Cormick’s family bequeathed the property in 1933 to local charities including All Saints Episcopal Church. The church sold its portion to Marie and George Greenhalgh who then assembled the remaining portions of the estate between 1935 and 1937.
In 1958, Eugene Casey purchased the farm from the Greenhalghs to serve as a summer home for him and his wife, Betty Brown Casey. Mrs. Casey donated the farm to Casey Trees in 2008. Today, the rich agricultural and cultural legacy of the farm lives on through Casey Tree Farm’s tree nursery, hay � elds and our preservation and adaptive reuse of the historic structures located on site.
Springsbury Farm and Lands End, now Casey Tree Farm, is one of the premier country es-tates in the region. Since 2008, Casey Trees has dedicated signi� cant time and resources documenting the history and cultural signi� cance of the farm and its many structures, as well as restoring the land and repairing roadways, bridges, fencing and other features.
Two of the Farm’s many structures merit special mention.
The Main House, the core of which was built in the mid-1790s, was expanded by Marie and George Greenhalgh in the 1930s to a spacious residence with designs from the Boston-based � rm of Perry, Shaw & Hepburn, best known for their work in Colonial Williamsburg.
The home’s expansive gardens, as well as the road layout and the many stone-wall fea-tures on the farm, were designed by one of America’s most prominent women landscape architects, Ellen Biddle Shipman. We have stabilized the home to ensure it will continue

FinalCritique
When my group presented our logo, website, and sig-nage designs, we received generally positive feedback from stakeholders Gale and Sarah. They were especially excited about the possibilities of combining signage with a mobile application or website. We were informed that elements of our design strategy would be proposed to Casey Tree Project in a final presentation given by the stakeholders.
