Pepper's DriftLogo Design Contest

"I’m looking for a logo for my beach house called Pepper's Drift. I want it to capture the essence of a relaxed, coastal vibe with a touch of personality and charm. The name Pepper's Drift evokes a sense of drifting along the shore, a laid-back seaside escape, maybe with a hint of spice or playfulness tied to 'Pepper.'
For the design, I’d love something clean and simple yet memorable. Think about incorporating beach-inspired elements like soft waves, driftwood, or a subtle nod to the ocean—maybe a horizon line or a gentle curve. I’m imagining a hand-drawn or organic style, nothing too polished or corporate, to reflect the natural, carefree feel of a beach house.
For colors, I’d lean toward a coastal palette—think sandy neutrals, muted blues, or seafoam greens, maybe with a pop of something bolder like coral or a peppery red-orange to tie into the name. Typography-wise, I’d like the name to feel approachable and stylish—maybe a mix of a playful script for 'Pepper's' and a simpler, grounded font for 'Drift' to balance it out.
I’m open to a small icon or graphic element—like a wave, a piece of driftwood, or even a stylized pepper with a beach twist—that could stand alone or pair with the text. The logo should feel versatile for things like signage, coasters, or towels. Overall, I want it to evoke the idea of kicking back by the sea with a bit of character. The house is in Rockport, Texas.

Beach, Sea and water colored tones

This is a vacation home on the bay. Pepper is part of our surname. It's not mandatory but it is a place we use to go fishing on the bay and ocean and welcome family and friends to relax and vacation.
