Ruth Rowland was asked to work on the new logo for Hardys Nottage Hill as part of Accolade Wines' new packaging and promotion for the brand.

The client wanted to re-tell the story of Thomas Nottage Hardy, their founder's nephew who worked for the family business for 66 years, having started as a boy of 15. The wine is named in honor of him and the lettering is designed to have the familiarity of a signature, to reflect this rich heritage and identity, while retaining a strong fluid line to make it stand out on the shelf.
