Dror Acres

Dror Acres is a close-knit Chassidishe community in northern Florida, away from city and suburban lifestyles. Each family owns their land within the rural and quiet community and follows the Chassidus and Yiddishkeit values of freedom, faith, family, and liberty. Dror Acres comprises an on-site farm that offers classes and education on farming, a non-profit organization that helps with various community costs, on-site educational opportunities, and much more. 

I was asked to create a logo for the Dror Acres community to use on their website and other advertising materials. They wanted a whimsical and cartoon look to their logo, similar to the logo their on-site farm has. I wanted to showcase Dror Acres' rural lifestyle in the logo, so I decided to go for a simple house with a forest around it. I also thought it would be fun to include chickens in the logo as well, especially since they mention chickens in their advertisements for the community.

Dror Kehilla Inc. is a 501 (c) (3) nonprofit organization created to meet the needs of the growing Dror community. Anyone can donate to sponsor a mitzvah, raise money for a Torah, or help to fund onsite education opportunities. I was asked to create a color logo for their non-profit in a similar style to the Dror Acres logo. I decided to keep the same house and tree shape, and add a heart in the middle of the house to symbolize giving from the heart. The blue in the name comes from the blue color of the Israeli flag.  

I was asked to create a flyer for a very special holy event that the Dror Acres community was hosting. It was important to the host that I design a flyer that looked "holy" and simple, while also including a few elements from their Dror Acres logo. I was given the event information and photos to add to the flyer. I wanted to ensure that you could tell what the event was at first glance, and then get the details of the event when looking closer at the flyer. 

Hineni Chinuch is a Dror Acres onsite school for boys. I was asked to design a logo based on a Chassidic story called "The Lamplighter" told by Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak of Lubavitch. They wanted it to include a flame and a pan. The flame represents an eternal flame, and the firepan represents the fire burning in the Temple. They also wanted a simple look that would work well in color and in black and white. I do not normally use a gradient color scheme in my designs, but in this case, it worked well in the fire, and they loved how it looked.
