Wordmark for Swedish folktronica band Wintergatan in collaboration with Martin Molin.
Following the philosophy of Swedish Graphic Design, characterized by simplicity, minimalism and functionality, whilst using the most essential elements, including basic shapes and limited color palettes, to create something that is simple yet succinct.
The font (a geometric sans-serif inspired by Futura by the Bauersche Gießerei) was chosen for it’s minimalism and clever positioning of cross strokes.
The design process, in collaboration with Martin, was a process of elimination. The initial concepts included ‘gears’ from the Marble Machine and true to Martin’s philosophy that 'The more clutter removed, the more substance remains', distractions were stripped away to allow for Cleanliness, Readability & Objectivity.
