Harken Hall

Logo Design  ✶  Art Direction

Harken Hall, a new music and event venue in Madison, needed a logo that would set it apart. In Nashville’s rich and crowded music scene, the identity had to capture the elevated guest experience while signaling a welcoming escape from downtown’s hustle.

Logo Design  ✶  Art Direction

The final logo was a true labor of love, pushing me as a designer and art director through many iterations and refinements. In close partnership with Associate Creative Director Aaron Rayburn, we honed a mark that embodies elegance, confidence, and the unmistakable presence of Harken Hall.
