SDCT

,

Identity

,

2021

When the School of Design and Creative Technologies (SDCT) became an independent academic unit within the College of Fine Arts, it created an opportunity to establish a visual identity that reflected the School’s ideals. Rooted in history yet forward-looking, SDCT houses the Rob Roy Kelley American Woodtype Collection and a century-old printing press. To honor that legacy while embracing contemporary creative technologies, the new identity employs TwoType, a modular block type system designed by MuirMcNeil. The typeface is processed through an algorithm built in p5.js, which generates randomized layering of the letterforms. The result is stochastic, infinitely variable, and celebratory of the unexpected—qualities that define SDCT’s pedagogy and creative spirit.

Good Apple

Identity

2020

Brand identity for Good Apple, a subscription-based startup launched during the Covid-19 pandemic to deliver CSA boxes. For every box purchased, the company provided a box to Austinites below the poverty line. The identity centers on a modular illustration library built from the counter-forms of Windsor Bold, of the brand's logotype, which was made iconic by The Last Whole Earth Catalog and Apple Records. The resulting cut-out visuals highlight positive/negative space, reinforcing Good Apple’s buy-one, give-one model. Credits: Completed with Reese Zerbo

KUTX

,

Identity

,

2016

Austin’s beloved public radio station had been recently split into two stations for news (KUT) and music (KUTX). A tidy brand system for the change had been developed, but KUTX lost its voice in the process. A new identity was needed that was less systematized. Our strategy was to make KUTX feel like music itself as well as distinctly “Austin” (then, the weird, burgeoning “live music capital of the world”). We looked back through music history and found a typeface that was so imbued with popular culture, that its mere use achieved our strategy. Credits: KUTX — Photos

UT Austin

Identity

2015

Brand identity for The University of Texas at Austin. Before the redesign, the University lacked a cohesive design system and a dedicated academic mark (its iconic Longhorn symbol was reserved for athletics). The new identity is anchored by a modernized shield distilled from the University’s seal, paired with a flexible lockup system set in Sectra by Grilli Type. This work was later presented by Herman Dyal and myself at Brand New’s First Round in Austin, Texas.
