Legwork

 

Brand Identity. Digital & Print Design. 3D. Motion.

I developed a brand identity for Legwork Records. They needed something simple and iconic, that felt like a continuation of the design vernacular established by many of the great electronic musicians and labels such as R&S, Warp, Plastikman and Aphex Twin.



 
 

To ensure there was a thread connecting the new identity to the old, I created a brand mark that captured a distinct sense of freedom, movement and the spirit of the dance floor.

I used ‘The Dance’ by Matisse as a visual inspiration, creating a logomark that replicated the feelings captured within the classic piece. 

 
 

I created a typographic system that took inspiration from the way dance routines are recorded on paper. To enhance the classic feel of the brand, the fonts remain quite controlled and restrained, offset by a typesetting style that can be playful and free, moving through compositions like a choreographed routine. Connected by arrows and lines it allows for contemporary, pleasantly awkward layouts to remain legible.
