The Story Behind the Rebrand

When I started Friday Afternoons two years ago, my goal was simple: create beautiful, practical tools that make life feel a little lighter.

Back then, it was just me, a printer that didn’t always cooperate, and a kitchen table covered in paper scraps and Mod Podge. But it worked. You found me. And together, we built something worth growing.

This rebrand isn’t just a new logo or color palette. It’s a reflection of what we’ve become — a brand made for real people with full schedules, big goals, and a desire for a little more calm in the chaos.

The Vision

Friday Afternoons has always been about more than planners. It’s about creating space for what counts, the in-between moments, the pause before the next thing, the little sigh of relief when you finally close your laptop for the day.

As we’ve evolved, I wanted the brand to feel like that moment: balanced, intentional, and inviting. The new identity captures that energy — modern, but still soft. Organized, but never rigid.

The Logo

At the heart of the new look is a logo that feels simple and human. The typography is modern but friendly, confident without being too loud.

You’ll see it everywhere: on planner covers, packaging, and notes from me tucked into your orders.

The Brand Marks + Icons

You’ll start to notice small symbols appearing across packaging, social, and products. They’re minimal, but will make a statement, and they’re meaningful — little reminders that planning can feel joyful, not stressful.

Patterns + Borders

New patterns bring more character to the brand, along with movement and softness to the visuals. They’ll show up across products and materials as subtle design elements and tie everything together.

Typography

Our updated type feels calm and confident. It pairs a timeless serif with a clean, modern typeface so that everything feels easy to read, yet elevated.

Color

The colors are inspired by the feeling of a Friday afternoon. Warm neutrals. Soft pastels. A few bold tones for energy and joy. They capture what the brand has always been about: calm, focus, and a little spark of excitement for what’s next.

The Voice + Message

You’ll notice a refreshed voice across the site and emails. It’s still me — just clearer and more confident.

Friday Afternoons Co. has always stood for helping busy people find calm and clarity. That hasn’t changed. We’re just saying it with a little more intention now.

Built for busy, built for balance.
Create space for what counts.
