Our challenge was to draw inspiration from the new Art Direction and the show’s distinctive mood to design a logo that perfectly aligns with their creative vision.
Approach
In our initial phase, we explored various elements from the TMNT universe that could be transformed into a mark representation. We also explored creating a monogram using different shapes, offering an alternative to a traditional mark.
For the typography style and composition, we built upon previous sketches, creating rough compositions to understand how the shapes interact and relate to the new TMNT world.
Round 2
In this exploration round, we delved into various stylistic options. We worked on a street-style inspired lettering, experimented with designs that had a Japanese influence, and created geometric letterforms with letter cuts for a more dynamic finish. Our focus then shifted to developing the letterings further and adding a young and playful vibe to the selected ones. We also experimented with adding vibrant colors and effects to enhance the overall look and feel.
