initial logo

workflow


I was looking for a blocky, asian-influenced typeface to start off from, and found font ‘tx-a’, built by [studio name].
it’s a good mix of blocky and curved shapes in an oriental style.The font was available for license.

the book that had the font was called ‘New Utilitarian’ by victionary.

+


final logo


dark / light/ wide


+


process


two references, the original logo and the tx-a font were pieced together. Simplified some of the letters for reading flow, and thickened the lines so it would read well small, on a crowded event poster.
