Scaramanga

Scaramanga is a 2 piece electronic outfit from Glasgow, Scotland. Fusing electro, trance and rock since 2020. In 2021 they were looking for an overall re-brand of their logo to give them a sense of identity. The design was to be minimal, futuristic and perhaps with a little tongue and cheek to show the personality of the band and their chosen name.

My final concept takes inspiration from the theme of collaboration. Scaramanga is a duo that once was three, I wanted to play on that element by using a simple yet distinctive shape synonymous with the idea of three, a triangle. This also plays into the name of the band and it’s relation to the character Scaramanga and his infamous three nipples.

The Logo

The design is minimal, timeless, versatile, a little sci-fi inspired and utilises a typeface with a retro come techno feel which works well for the bands unique sound.

The triangle imagery can be used alone, as a pattern and within other elements to help bring a sense of identity to the bands branding.

Simple colours of a muted ash grey along side black and white offer the ultimate minimalistic feel to ensure that any other imagery is not over shadowed by the logo, ie album covers artwork.

I created a mock up website using XD software for the band. Here are some screenshots from that process.

The brand guideline document was implemented across the site.
