ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Jess and Joe came to me asking for a logo for their new band, Killjoys. Joe was the former front man for The Undivided with experience in the music industry and is now the creative genius and lead guitarist for Killjoys. Jess is the front woman for Killjoys who is formally trained in classical singing which shows when she sings as she has an incredible skillset! Killjoys have a pop/rock genre and they wanted a logo to represent this. The script brush font gives the logo a more personal feel almost like an autograph, while the skull in place of the 'o' gives it more of an edgy feel. After the logo was created and the band had recorded their first single 'Stay The Same' and filmed their music video for it, they asked me to make their single cover and a social media post for a gig they were playing to promote their new single. If you watch the music video, you can see that they are in an area filled with a lot of coloured balloons. The song also has an 80s vibe which not only inspired the colours of the music video but also the neon effect text on the single cover. Just like the single cover, the social media post needed to be eye catching so that people wouldn't just scroll past it. As an upcoming band we all agreed that it would be an important factor in the design.
HERE'S WHAT JOE FROM KILLJOYS HAS TO SAY...
"We got in contact with Steph when initially we needed a logo for our band. We really just gave her the name of our band and a vague vibe of the music. As musicians you want to spent as little money as possible where you can and sometimes being creatives you feel you are more than capable enough of creating a logo yourselves. But it just stands to point that getting someone as amazing as Steph onboard was worth every penny because she didn't just create a logo, she created us a brand, that we could use on merch, videos and for live shows. She really was worth her weight in gold as we could never have done that on our own! As we progressed she helped with artwork as well, and because she was with us at the beginning she knew what would work to help us build our brand. A fantastic creative!"
