About the studio

X-Men

Rebranding a pop culture icon.

Marvel Entertainment

Logo design, visual identity, design system, typography, publication design.

When Marvel initiated an ambitious relaunch of their X-Men franchise in 2019, they required a new creative direction that touched on every aspect of the line, signalling a new Dawn of X.

Building on a new “X” brand mark a comprehensive publication program was developed that included bespoke typography, logos, book and cover design—resulting in increased brand awareness and engagement through a unified brand system built in the language of X. People have the tattoos to prove it.

Article for Google Fonts Knowledge that shows designers how they can go from font to logo.

Mazebook

The Only Way Out Is In.

Dark Horse Publishing

Logo design, book & publication design.

Cover and publication design for the critically acclaimed series Mazebook from writer and artist Jeff Lemire (Netflix’s Sweet Tooth, Essex County). A bespoke "Mazebook" logotype that mimics the angled, hesitant movements of someone drawing a line through a maze follows the narrative thread of a father searching for the memory of his daughter within an unfinished maze from her journals.

A limited edition was designed turning that idea into a physical object, taking the reader along with the protagonist. The cloth cover features the embroidered logotype as a continuous path from the back into a foil-stamped maze on the front cover.
