A very fun project I got to work on: after designing the logotype for the game Herdling, I was asked to make localized versions in Arabic and Chinese. I got to keep the horn shapes, and the implied mountain in the Arabic. 🗻 Play it!

...have a look! This design is based on a 2-colour linocut print I made. If it’s not obvious, the subject matter borrows heavily from the lettering on gas station ice freezers. It’s nice.

On November 12, 1833, there was a meteor shower so intense that it was possible to see up to 100,000 meteors crossing the sky every hour. At the time, many thought it was the end of the world, so much so that it inspired this woodcut by Adolf Vollmy.
