A NOCTURNAL IDENTITY FOR A STUDIO THAT WORKS AFTER DARK — BUILT TO READ AS CAPTURED FOOTAGE, NOT INTERFACE.

CONTEXT

A studio that works after dark needed an identity that read the same way — captured, atmospheric, certain. The old mark was a daytime logo doing nightshift.

CHALLENGE

Hold the dark without losing legibility. Every surface had to carry grain, depth and motion blur and still pass a contrast test at a glance.

APPROACH

Type as architecture, motion as weight, everything else removed until the frame held its own tension. One accent per view. Restraint as the default state.

THEY HANDED US THE DARK AND ASKED FOR LIGHT. WE KEPT THE DARK.
