Psychonaut

Psychonaut is a hardcore punk band out of Virginia that asked me to make a simple, but trippy typography logo for their band to use on covers. I chose an art deco sorta typeface, manipulated the last half after the psycho and the guys really enjoyed it. I felt like going ultra grunge would've been too easy so wanted something subtle, but disturbing. Like a real psycho would be right? Right?! Anywho... It's proven more versatile than I had originally thought. They also dabble in modern folk, so they simply use a Cooper style version of their name for those projects. I think splitting the branding like that works for what they're doing. As a graphic designer I dunno if I'd do that.
