Intro
Sup is a yet to be released app from the creator of Pixelfed (Daniel Supernault, or dansup). Since the app doesn’t exist yet I decided to have some fun designing one possible reality for what it could become and then I shared it with dansup. Here’s some of the things I explored.
I really liked the accented period from the current sup wordmark (seen to the left) and that it was highlighted in blue.
I wanted to see if I could push it a bit further to make it more bold and I explored a bunch of different fonts as well as a new reddish color that I felt matched the purple-ish blue of the period in the original wordmark.
I found the font “Mrs Sheppards” and it felt like a really great match for the street/artsy/scrappy aesthetic I was going for. The selling point for me was the slightly oblong period.
Then I started exploring how I might be able to incorporate into a logo. Here’s some of the things I explored.
Then I struck gold (or at least it felt that way to me). 😏 I realized why not use that beautiful oblong period shape from the wordmark and turn it into a chat bubble??
I kept exploring
Outro
For a quick branding project, I was really satisfied with what I was able to create! I’ll share more details about the project soon including the app designs and an interactive prototype I built, but this is plenty for now.]
👀 Spoiler 👀 After creating this and some stuff for Loops, I shared with dansup and he invited me to join the team!! I was absolutely stoked because I’ve been trying to connect with multiple open source projects over the last year and hadn’t been able to until now! 😻
