Brief

The challenge was to swap gritty tattoo stereotypes for clean lines and subtle textures, for a discerning client seeking elevated personal storytelling for an urban tattoo bar. They briefed refined craftsmanship meets contemporary design.

Design

Georgia is a person, an inspiration and a destination. I designed the brand’s identity with an elegant serif wordmark, exuding poised sophistication, inspired by needle precision and classic script.

It sits within a modern framework of bold lines and the occasional flourish, extending seamlessly from colour signage to monotype merchandise. My goal, to thoughtfully bridge tattooing’s raw heritage with a more refined art-inspired aesthetic.

The image features the word 'Georgia' written in bold, with four different background colors: black, beige, brown, and light blue. Each version of the word is in a contrasting color suited to its background.
Color palette with labels for brand colors: Industrial Base, Icy Blue, Rouge, Smoky Bronze, and Pearl Metallic.
Comparison of Georgia and Roboto fonts, including uppercase and lowercase alphabets, numbers, and symbols, on a black background.
Collection of Georgia-branded stationery including a large blue tote bag, a notepad, a notebook, a smaller notebook, a business card, and an envelope, all featuring the word 'Georgia' in bold black font.
Collage with the word 'Ink', a black-and-white portrait of a person with tattoos and bleached hair covering their face, and a sepia-toned close-up of an ear with an earring and a geometric tattoo behind it.
