Process

Logotype

The logo is inspired by the force of an undertow, connecting to the hidden currents between music and culture. The symbol represents the motion of sound waves and reflects the collective’s goal of highlighting the voices and movements that are often overlooked in art and music.

Font

The sans-serif 'Inter' font by Google supports the collective’s modern and minimalist style. It's versatile, working well in the logo as well as on websites and social media. The clean lines match the wave symbol, balancing structure with movement.

Colour Palette

The monochrome, grayscale palette lets the art and music stand out. The neutral colours ensure the visuals of the content are highlighted and stay in focus across different platforms.

Outcome

The branding for this project successfully highlights its focus on music and artists; the straightforward logo design and flexible font make the brand memorable, while the neutral colours allow the vibrant content to shine on various platforms.
