The Colour Movement Logo, Website etc.
Client: Nick Stewart and Associates

The Colour Movement are a great young band from Cambridge on their way to big things in 2010

Steeped in songwriting influences that include Muse, Pendulum, Calvin Harris, Bloc Party, Jamiroquai, Coldplay … the band have spent the last two years working with producers Ben Mason (The Kooks, Arctic Monkeys, Razorlight) and Simon Efemy (Pantera, The Wildhearts), honing their brand of spanking Dance Rock to perfection. And attracting no little attention in the process.

The brief was simple, if a little vague. A solid identity for the launch phase of The Colour Movements career that would help them rise above the myspace ‘white noise’ of bands vying for label attention.

The Dance Rock Label can be a dangerous one for any band trying to break out, so I steered clear of the usual cliches and tired old ’seen it all before’ rubbish that infects most of the design in the music industry today and created a clean but messy, simple but layered look that can move with the band as they evolve. Without the need for constant redesign.

Check back in 5 years time. If they’re still using the same logo on album 2, then I got it right for them.
