Loud Type — treating typography as a brand asset, not decoration. Metal, light and motion, directed to make a wordmark feel physical.

PARALLAX — from sketch to final identity 🌀
Swipe through the design process behind this exhibition branding project — from raw, hand-drawn wave paths in Illustrator to the final kinetic typography system.
This is a brand identity for a contemporary art exhibition. Every letter in the logo design for "PARALLAX" was warped and adjusted by hand, line by line — no plugins, no shortcuts. This typography design technique reflects the whole concept: perception shifting depending on where you stand.
Going from hand-drawn wave paths to a full kinetic typography system is such a satisfying arc to see documented. How long did the whole process end up taking from that first sketch to final delivery?
For this challenge, I wanted to create more than just a logo or a promotional asset. I wanted to build the foundation of a brand.
Runner Community is a concept for a global community where runners can discover races, connect with local running communities, and find inspiration through events, training, and shared experiences.
To bring the idea to life, I used Envato Elements as my primary creative toolkit, including:
AI Image Generator
AI Video Generator
AI Mockups
Website Templates
Video Templates
Music
Sound Effects
These resources helped me rapidly explore ideas and create professional visual assets.
I refined the prompts, selected different visual styles, adjusted the color palette, rejected multiple AI-generated concepts, and curated only the assets that aligned with the brand I envisioned. I also chose the pacing, music, mockups, and final promotional sequence to create an energetic yet approachable identity.
Breakdown provided in the comments.
An unused logo concept exploring the letter N through a clean, geometric construction. The mark balances simplicity with a distinctive silhouette, creating a versatile identity that feels modern, confident and memorable.
Although it never made it into a final brand, it's a reminder that strong ideas don't always need a client to exist. Sometimes the best concepts are the ones waiting for the right opportunity.
Nice work!
