Shawn and Jon, the founders of LM Authentic Travel, envisioned a brand that exudes luxury and sophistication while also conveying strength and confidence. They drew inspiration from a masculine, mid-century aesthetic and the style featured in Architectural Digest.
To bring their vision to life, we selected a color palette that includes navy, teal, light blue, a pop of orange, and classic neutrals. Teal is associated with communication, while navy and light blue convey trust and dependability, giving the brand a sophisticated and powerful feel. The pop of orange adds a touch of confidence and warmth, making the brand feel inviting, while the classic neutral colors enhance its overall sophistication.
The logo is designed to be clean, sophisticated, and typographic featuring a monogram symbol of the letters “LM.” The primary font used in the logo is a sans-serif typeface, with varying weights within the letters to create a strong and minimalist look. This is complemented by a clean, modern sans-serif font used for the tagline.

Shawn Lamphear and Jon Malpass both traded in corporate life for a full-time gig doing what they love most: meticulous, thorough, leave-no-stone-unturned travel design. They’re business partners, travel partners, and life partners; since saying “yes” to one another in 2011, they’ve said “yes” to hundreds of trips together!
After exploring 80+ countries, Shawn and Jon founded LM Authentic Travel to share their deep travel passion with others — Especially busy, stretched-thin professionals who don’t have a minute to plan themselves. They’ve been in your desk chair, and they know nothing is more restorative than a journey designed to inspire.
