Collaborators:


Work done:

Logo, Letterhead, Social Media Management, Copywriting, Video Editing, Signage and Motion Design

Final Logo Variants:


Focusing on the graffiti, history, and architecture of Bushwick gave me a lot to work with and I ended up creating a bold street art inspired wordmark.

Rejected logo options:

Typography:


For the main typeface I chose Knockout Ultimate Heavyweight, a traditional boxing poster typeface. It is bold and loud while being traditional. A typeface that has enough attitude and personality of its own to represent a neighborhood as vibrant as Bushwick.


The Secondary typeface is Open Sans. Open Sans is a Google font, that I chose mainly because it works well across web browsers while complimenting the logo. 

The Colors:

The colors for this building were chose to match the color of the largest outside mural on the building. 

Mural Blue ——— #2775b3

Asphalt ———— #333333

Ash Grey ———— #b2b2b2


Cosmic Black —— #000000

Snow White ——— #FFFFFF
