The Monster Overhaul
Anodyne Printware

Logo Design
2021

I pitched the following logo designs to Ian Yusem for his then-upcoming publishing company, Anodyne Printware. The concept was to be something related to either “constructivism” or “1980s acid-techno future”. The design I settled on was intended to be reminiscent of the work of El Lissitzky, and utilized the same black/white/red color scheme of his most famous illustrations. 

In the end, Ian went with another designer for the logo, but I was offered an adjacent job doing PDF remediation on his first publication HULL BREACH. 

Design by Dai Shugars.
