Approach

The logotype development explored multiple directions—hand-lettered block forms, neon gloss textures, and fluid shapes—all layered with saturated color and playful overlap. Inspired by sticker culture and tactile expression, the design process focused on translating youthful energy into type.

Outcome

The final mark is a custom wordmark set in a colorful, bubbly display style. It emphasizes legibility while maintaining individuality in each letterform. Sold as a set of vinyl stickers, the wordmark helped build brand recognition and community engagement through wearable, accessible pieces.
