The Opportuity
The newly restored historic Harlow Hotel is a boutique hotel built in 1882, that re-opened in 2019 in downtown Portland, Oregon. Nestled on the east side of Portland's north park blocks, Harlow is right in the center of it all - walking distance to many of downtown's finest galleries, restaurants, and museums.

The Mark
The main mark was inspired by the famous stained glass windows of the era. I designed the double crossbar seen in the H to emphasize the double h's found in the name Harlow Hotel while speaking to the time period while aligning the stroke width stylistically with the shape of the mark and enclosure weight. The room number typography was custom, too.
