Challenge

Reimagining the identity for Maple Gap Cabins meant creating a brand experience that captured the nostalgia of a historic Appalachian summer camp while elevating it into a refined modern retreat.


The challenge was developing a cohesive visual system that could feel luxurious, while remaining warm, family-friendly, and welcoming.

Every touchpoint; from first impression to checkout; needed to evoke the thoughtfulness of the property's hosts and history, while remaining flexible enough to grow alongside the property and its expanding amenities.

Outcome

We developed a brand identity designed to feel both nostalgic and elevated, blending the warmth of summer camp memories with the refinement of a modern Appalachian escape.

A monospace typeface references historic Forest Service signage, while logo variations draw from early Appalachian trail markers and camp stamps.

Across custom logos, original property illustrations, wayfinding, merchandise, and marketing collateral, the system creates an immersive guest experience rooted in hospitality and the quiet luxury of the outdoors.
