Logo for Riptide Archive. They document underground surf culture through limited run apparel, photo zines and short films.
Love this!
That logo has a lot of personality for something built around underground surf culture, it doesn't try too hard to look polished. Was that scrappy hand drawn feel intentional from the start, or did it evolve away from a cleaner version?
Perfect..
Great!
super cool!
Love it
The bird has so much personality.
Such fun branding man!! Great job. 💯
I really like the logo.
Surf culture branding lives or dies on whether the logo still works printed small on a zine cover, curious if that drove any of the mark decisions here.
Love the style! 🌟
The logo as a standalone has so much character!
Legendary!

I noticed clean energy brands were either too crunchy, nobody made renewable power feel simple and exciting.
I designed Luno to be the spark that starts something bigger - clean, direct and confident. Energy without the noise.
I merged a spark with the letter "L". Four blades rotating outward energy caught mid motion, being captured and released.
I placed Luno in clean energy - solar, smart grids, storage - as the modern alternative to tired green washed branding.
That's a clean mark. Well done
I truly love the the illustration
Calypso Home ✦ Logo, 2024
In myth, Calypso was the nymph who welcomed travelers home. Her raised arms became the "Y", holding a star.
One custom letter, built to survive metal, glaze and leather.
Full case study in my portfolio.
The last project from 2024, just added to my refreshed portfolio.
Got a project ? Let's talk about it.
Turning Calypso's raised arms into the Y holding a star is the kind of story that makes a logo stick, the myth is baked right into the letterform. Built to survive metal, glaze and leather shows you designed for the real product, not just the deck. Beautiful mark.
