Azibo

The Azibo design was derived from the Egyptian god of music Hathor, who was always depicted with a circle (symbolizing the sun) with horns. This was only taken as inspiration in order to create a contemporary logo. The bright colors were chosen to convey the modern feel of the band. The more muted colors were selected to evoke the organic sense for which the band Azibo (which means "earth") stands for. The typography was chosen to combine both these modern and organic motifs. Lastly, the logo was made to be able to stand on its own, without the text.

Kaminas Product Design (pamphlet, sticker, CD)

Kaminas is an Islamic Pop Band. I was inspired by the pointed arches, eight point stars, mosaics and stripes from ancient Islamic art and architecture. I wanted a design that was simplistic and bright with ties back to Islamic culture.

Mayan "Ha-Uh!" branding.

The Maya civilization was without a doubt the most artistic Mesoamerican civilization. The Mayas were known because of their written language, their mathematical and astrological systems, art and architecture, and for being harmonious with other civilization. Saying this “Ha-uh!” is a compilation of all of these qualities. “Ha-uh!” Is a band that portrays the art, the music and the colors that the Maya culture once had, and that still has as being a culture that never disappeared, as the Mayan descendants have continued to maintain their traditions and beliefs. “Ha-uh!” is Mayan for “water moon”, as this civilization developed astrological systems and calendars by observing the Astros, and gave great importance to water not only for agriculture but for architecture too. The logo shows the Mayan symbol for water, the moon in which the god of the moon sits, and finally the symbol for the zero number in their mathematical system, the conch. The colors used in the logo and in the applications as well depict water, the sun and the sand in the region. “Ha-uh!” and their album “Pok-Ta-Rok”, taken from “Pok-Ta-Pok” (the Mayan ball game), demonstrate the mix between old Mayan culture and design, with the contemporary not only Mayan culture but with the modern world as well.
