Ross and Jan Sessions advanced their Colorado cattle ranch—and Montana extension for cattle and hogs—from a personal endeavor to a professional operation, prompting a branding project for the "6 Broken Bar 10" Little Ross Ranch.

 

Inspired by traditional branding irons, the logo gained dimension through beveled, textured edges in Adobe Photoshop—refined for print quality, with a smoother version suited for embroidery to support versatile applications.

 

The modified slab font Stud conveyed ranch heritage for the title, paired with glyph-rich Proxima Nova for its adaptability in headers and body copy across extensive collateral, such as signage and apparel. Earthy browns formed the foundational palette.

 

Pleased with the branding outcome, the Sessions requested services for Black Mountain Processing, named for a nearby peak. Mountain photography informed vector silhouettes in Illustrator for the icon. The legible script Blacksword was paired with modified Futura (M styled as peaks), accented by pine green and shared brown for brand alignment.

 

Wood-burned logo effects and butcher paper textures enhanced Black Mountain's identity in animal processing, with files optimized for print and digital consistency.
