2021: Splat @ 25 Band Logo

Like typography? Like original music? Wear this tee.

I designed this wordmark to mark the 25th anniversary of a continuing musical group / studio record exercise.

The “SPL” in the logo not only reflects the band’s name – splatterkep – but also refers to Sound Pressure Levels.

You can see a SPL sine wave run through the logo, insinuating the sample- and loop-based nature of much of what the band offers musically.

The arrow in the sine wave points like a record needle to an LP (itself a tribute to the band’s influences, as is the word “platter” in the middle of its name.)

The arrow + red + white + blue + the circles = a nod to mods and The Who.

>> Here’s an example of splatterkep, albeit without any samples.
