Creating a logo for «SKONTRA» one of the prominent Folk Punk bands from Asturias, well-known not only in the regional territory but also across the entire country and Europe.
The logo is the perfect blend of illustration and graphic design, merging a modern style with hand-drawn san serif fonts. Letters like K, R, or A are adorned with details and flourishes inspired by insular calligraphy and Celtic typography, giving it that distinctive folkie essence that characterizes the band. This logo achieves a delicate balance in its composition and typographic study, ensuring readability at any size and on any medium. However, it also embraces intentional imperfections and weathering to impart a vintage and Punk aesthetic, capturing the rebellious spirit conveyed by the band’s lyrics and rhythmic force.
Repeatedly, the «Logo Creation» captures not only a digital illustration but the essence of a handcrafted piece, reminiscent of the initial stages of the design. It aims to evoke the appearance of a weathered print, as if worn by time. With my artistic style, I sought to narrate the story of Skontra solely through their name, reflecting the band’s identity and attitude.
