Logo for a new comic book from Image / Shadowline Publishing. Created to evoke the madcap adventures of cinema in the late 1950’s, this logo design and tagline completes the look over cover art by Aluisio Santos. Kurtis Wiebe’s story of a man and woman leaping from dying body to dying body, meeting over and over again in each life, is a romantic yet macabre adventure that I felt evoked movies like “Vertigo” and “Seconds”, so I sought out a contemporary take on a Saul Bass-inspired design. More about the process is written here.
