Hello, my name is Nicolai Bye. Yes, that is my actual last name. Feel free to check out my plain burger reviews under Blog!
KLASHE Records
Klashe are now looking to refresh their brand while keeping those 90s rave aesthetics alive.
’’Klashe is a globally renowned record label hailing from Berlin. The label has grown from putting on underground raves in the 90s to signing some of the biggest DJs in the world.
Klashe are now looking to refresh their brand while keeping those 90s rave aesthetics alive. You can show the logo animated within club visuals*, on a record sleeve or even just on it’s own, it’s entirely up to you – run with it!’’
Keep.it.brief is a wonderful Instagram account to keep you occupied in your spare time. It's quite simply an Instagram account that posts weekly briefs and features the submissions.
This time around the brief was for a logo design, so I figured I'd take on the challenge. Since most of my designs in the past are quite modern and minimalistic I thought I'd challenge myself by leaving my comfort zone and doing something more illustrated. This was both to see the design from a new angel and to fit the brief of keeping the 90's rave aesthetic.
My submission focused on record sleeves to show the possible brand applications
Logo in B/W
I found the colour palette while looking through visual inspiration, while the liquid glitch effects were inspired by the big drug culture at the time. Not that it's going to reflect the company in any way, but I thought it created a very interesting visual style for the brand. One that is very different from my usual work.
