Logo design and branding

September 2020

A selection of logos I have designed for clients large and small.

My logos for musicians and record labels are designed to work as strong standalone graphics. They have be highly adaptable – recognisable at a vast range sizes, work in any colour, on any background and still have presence when positioned with other logos.

Some of the corporate logos below form the heart of a complete brand identity and are designed to work in harmony with specific colours, typefaces and other visual elements to present a statement of how a company wants to be portrayed.

Whatever the job, I always aim to craft something simple yet characterful.

A space themed logo, featuring a moon casting a shadow on an abstracted alien planet, for electro label Hierophant Records

Wordmark for record label Dyadik, each letter is made from two shapes (Dyadic meaning something that consists of two parts or elements)

The Dyadik icon is composed of the two shapes that the whole identity is built on, representing the concept behind Dyadik and it's also the roman numeral for 2

Wordmark for musician Steven Rutter (one half of B12) to release music under his own name
