Ellingson Companies began as Ellingson Lawn Care. Originally, their logo inicluded hyper-realistic grass and lots of details. Mr Ellingson requested a sleek rebrand that included the wide variety of services they provide. They primarily focus on "Hardscaping," which I learned is cement and other stonework in the context of landscaping. The "bricks" in the logo are a subtle nod to the bricks they lay, while also hinting at their diversity. For the font, I chose Excelsior Sans, which is modern, strong, and sharp, like Ellingson Companies. By happenstance, Ellingson Companies is also located in Excelsior, MN.
