DESIGN DIRECTION + LOGO LETTERING

Nestled in the vibrant heart of the capital, Hotel Washington blends historic gravitas with unapologetic style. Since opening its doors in 1917, the hotel has been a steadfast landmark, carrying a rich and storied history that informs its unique character today. The visual identity channels this unexpected duality, pairing classic D.C. sophistication with playful, modern flair. A hand-lettered script wordmark and monogram introduce an expressive, personable tone, while custom illustrations by artist Amit Greenberg add energy, character, and a sense of wit. Deep, polished tones and crisp metallics evoke the building’s marble and brass finishes, creating a palette that feels both rich and current. Every touchpoint was designed to reflect Hotel Washington’s singular personality: bold, stylish, and not afraid to wink.

My contributions to Hotel Washington were during my time as Design Director at Revolver New York. Project details available upon request.
