Welcome to where I'll be posting my logos. I will post old logos as I dig them up and get them scanned, and post new ones whenever I make any.

Kokain



Kokain - Danish for cocaine - is a Danish hardcore punk band. Their style is really energetic and fast. This is the final version of the logo, although from very early in the process the lettering had already taken a form like this.

I drew it by hand and adjusted angles in photoshop. Made mid 2020.

The first sketch version was the block-style sans-serif lettering with a razor blade. Kokain wanted to use the razor but didn't like the block font, and thus the new version was born. However the new style of the logo doesn't fit with the razor very well, and having it read as a razor blade while still retaining some legibility in the logo doesn't fit very well together, as you can see below.




Belligerent


A new logo I did mid 2020 for a Danish upcoming black/thrash metal band.

They wanted something based off of a classic blackletter font, but I wanted to make it a little more standout. So I experimented a little with letter heights and composition while focusing on keeping the general aesthetic of the font.

My original sketch had a wider spacing between letters and also a dot over the i. The dot made the left side of the logo very heavy compared to the right, so it had to go.

I drew up a sketch by hand using a flat-style Faber Castell calligraphy felt pen, then scanned it an adjusted letter thickness, angles and spacing. Then I printed it and redrew the logo to give it a more personal and less computerised feel.

TONEwood logo re-vamp


Re-vamped the original hand-drawn TONEwood logo in Photoshop to make it more appealing and symmetrical.

TONEwood Music is my DIY tape-label and distro, and also the name of my music review blog.
