Lapwing 65
Musicians based in the Bristol area
Goal
To create a wordmark logo and multiple designs including illustrative visuals.
I developed a distinctive wordmark and visual identity inspired by the musicians’ appreciation for retro design and nostalgic visual culture. The branding combines a simple, recognisable wordmark with a series of carefully crafted illustrations and album artworks that draw on the look and feel of vintage printed materials. As part of the project, I recreated the visual language of a classic Compendium of Games board game set and adapted it into an album cover, while another release was inspired by the design of an old BBC sound effects album.
Alongside the album artwork, I created a detailed illustration of a lapwing in flight, which was applied to promotional posters and apparel, including a custom illustrated polo shirt. By combining retro-inspired design with new, original artwork, I created a cohesive identity for Lapwing 65 that feels rooted in the past while giving the musicians a distinctive visual style of their own.
