We started this project in early 2020 under a different title “The Unbreakable Spell”. With notes and pictures of Arabic calligraphy and graffiti from John Lasseter as inspiration for the logo. 4 years and many revisions later, it’s on Netflix, on billboards, and is talking about a few of the toys we created packaging for. Time flies!

Today, WondLa airs on TV+. 4 years ago, we started exploring logos for the animated series based on the books - The Search for WondLa. We explored many type treatments from what we gathered in the book. Those of you that have read the books will know why we chose a few the pictured directions. We kept coming back to the modernized version of the classic logo. A few rounds of refinement lead us to the final that you see on screen. We felt the loop on the W was a rarely seen and iconic part of the letterform. This also lead us to choose the font Anarcharsis for the name credits… after many other variations of font and justification explorations. With all that said, we got a credit on the very last page (actual size attached 😉). You know, when it shrinks to a matchbox and it prompts you that the next episode will play? Squint at it then. Although we were credited as the company, I credit the incredibly talented for the creation of the logo we went with.

Thank you Hyundai for bringing us in to shoot!

Some cars drive. Others inspire. The re-envisioned 2024 Hyundai SONATA does both. Are you ready? 🚘

Occasionally, I'll come across a logo that looks oddly familiar. Either due to age or doing a lot of logo explorations (or both), I need to look in our archives to verify what we've actually created. Disney ILY 4Ever just happened to be one of those projects (2019).

I'll admit, this one was a bit out of our wheelhouse. The criteria of having the logo work with not only a young female demographic, but with multiple properties (Marvel, Star Wars) didn't make the process any easier.

The folks at Disney Consumer Products made a few tweaks after we handed the files over to them. That team always puts a nice polish on what we give them.

Saturday we attended the premiere for Skydance Animation’s Luck. It’s been over a year working with the Skydance team on logo and packaging design. Although our logo wasn’t selected as a final, it was a privilege to be a part of the process. We were, however, very involved on the packaging design. We usually send a design guide to licensees to follow. Instead, being Skydance Animation’s first feature film, we chose to produce all package design mechanicals instead.

If you have AppleTV+, Luck is available for streaming today.

an early draft of our 4 droid schematic poster. Details were(are) scant for D•O so we ended up scrapping the key info block for all posters. We decided to fill that space with large Aurebesh text.

Feels like an eternity ago when we got a call to do a logo for a short film by We explored numerous directions, and without spoiling it, you can see why we ended up where we did. See it on  TV+

About damn time. 20 years ago, as part of an Art Center design project, I proposed removing the racist imagery of Aunt Jemima entirely from the bottle. While, ironically, a few students thought we should bring back the servant attired version. Good on you
