Library of stays
Designing story-driven brands & touchpoints that make every stay memorable
Oregon-Based Creative Agency for STR & AirBnb Owners
Our Own Story ... Where It All Began.
When we dreamed up Library of Stays, we wanted to create more than just a creative agency. We wanted to build a collection: a place where stories of beautiful stays live side by side, each with its own charm, character, and nostalgia.
This was our first project: designing the identity that would set the tone for everything we’d create next.
We help short-term rental owners transform their properties into unforgettable experiences through story-driven branding and design. But first, we had to define our own story.
We needed a brand that felt playful and nostalgic, but still professional and trustworthy (one that could speak to creative homeowners and design lovers alike). The name Library of Stays came first, and with it, a challenge: how do we visualize a “library” of distinct places, each with its own story to tell?
The Challenge
We built the brand around the idea of a curated collection of experiences, like pulling a favorite book from a well-loved library. The creative direction nods to vintage travel culture, print ephemera, and analog catalog systems ... a blend of editorial sophistication and playful curiosity.
Think: postcards, vintage motel key tags, and library stamps meeting modern hospitality.
Every stay has a story, and every story deserves a place on the shelf.
THE CONCEPT
Logo & Mark
A clean, timeless wordmark. Flexible enough to adapt across digital and print, but rooted in that analog spirit we love. Our travel-inspired accents feel both editorial and nostalgic.
Color Palette
Bright, poppy colors paired with classics ... the kind of palette that makes you want to book a trip back in time.
Typography
Editorial and approachable. We combined a serif that nods to classic library and book type, with a personality-fills sans serif and a fun script for added warmth.
Consistent Messaging
Clean layouts and travel-inspired icons feel collected, not cluttered. Each visual element supports the idea of a brand that feels carefully curated and full of life.
THE BRAND SUITE
The Library of Stays identity captures exactly what we set out to build: a creative brand that feels nostalgic, imaginative, and intentional ... a place where design meets storytelling.
Since launching, it’s become the foundation for how we approach every client project: from visual direction to photography to the words we choose. It’s proof that good branding doesn’t just look nice ... good branding invites you in.

BRINGING IT ALL TOGETHER
You supply the space, we’ll supply the story.
We help vacation rental hosts create memorable guest stays.
At its core, Library of Stays is the anchor for every story we’ll help tell: the heart that connects each brand, each stay, and each creative journey that follows. We poured ourselves into this one so that every project that comes next begins from a place of care, curiosity, and craft. The same intention that shaped our own brand is what we bring to yours.
