Strategy
In creatingthe logo and branding for Blur Studios, I wanted to emphasize the company’s innovativeapproach to imagery. In a published interview with FiringSquad.com, Blur’s co-ownerTim Miller had stated the “the artists (at Blur) always want to push the (creative)bar”. I thought that this statement was descriptive of the company, that theirpresent logo did not reflect that attitude, so I used it as a focus in the logoand branding design, “Pushing the creative edge”.
