Cosmic Fantasia Logo

Cosmic Fantasia Logo
Cosmic Fantasia, an ethical web development company based in Queensland approached Small Studio to overhaul their web site and logo. The visual direction for the logo came from psychadelic artwork, imagery from the space programs and and traditional asian symbolism. The final symbol is an extremly abstracted  Tajitu (Yin & Yang symbol) coloured in the style of Alex Gray. The typeface, ITC Avante Garde, was designed and enjoyed huge popularity in the 60's, the glory days of the space race.

Scruffy Bunch Tours Brochure

Scruffy Bunch tours approached Small Studio to design a brochure for their Yarra Valley winery and microbrewery tours. Their brief was to capture the youth market, and express the tour's no-nonsense, down to earth and light hearted approach. Small Studio employed clean layouts and whimsical illustrations to this effect, resulting in a great design that stands out from the usual crop in the hotel brochure stand.
