Web Design & Development

The seating concept of the SoulSmiles Concert Series involved the audience encircling the performer, forming a ring around them. The logomark was heavily influenced by this unique setup with a ring encircling the type.

The ring, itself, was developed to resemble a sun to symbolize the performer shining at the center with strong support from the close, intimate audience.

The distressed typeface was chosen to illustrate the collective power of the energy found at the center of the circle. But the type is bold, sturdy at its base, and can withstand the heat, so it’s staying in the kitchen.
