D.C. Dust Coats was a web comic about 1920's Washington D.C. In being
tasked to handle the logo for the client, I researched themes and motifs
of the area, and settled on something akin to art deco. Using sharp
angles and shapes as the theme of the piece, I then sought out a
typeface evocative of the era. In the end, I ended up using Upper
EastSide for the "D.C." and Gotham for the title. Many color concepts
were submitted to the client, of which the one picked had a sepia tone
old world feel to it. The tone was later applied to the whole web site.
Overall, I feel the logo does a good job in capturing the era the comic
is based in and giving the comic an identity separate from other web
comic works
