Favorite Project: Rock Genius Logo
This is a fan-made logo for an actual website: Rock Genius. It's a sub-channel of Rap Genius, a lyric site where one can annotate lyrics to explain their meaning. I'm a member, and I've helped with some of Rock's big pages, like the lyrics for Lady Gaga's ARTPOP.
Check the red link out, although I can't guarantee that it's school-friendly.
So I liked this project not only because of my personal connection to the (real) company, but also the thrill of redesigning it within reason. The real logo is as minimal as it gets, so I restored the headphones from an earlier version. I also added guitar strings to turn "rock" into a guitar. The lower case usage adds to the minimal yet friendly aesthetic.
The font was the hardest part. I cycled through four or five different typefaces before settling with Futura. I tried avoiding it, since I already used it by default, but it works.
Sooner or later, I'm going to get this project onto social media. One day.
