The late Cy Coleman wrote some well known Broadway hits and standards, like Witchcraft and The Best Is Yet To Come, and when his label recently decided to start marketing his brand better, I got to be a part of it. Right place at the right time I guess... but regardless, It all started with a logo. The image we decided on for the logo was this iconic shot of Cy smoking, but we used a very stylized smoke to keep a feeling of class and modern sensibility.
This project led into several album designs and related collateral, utilizing the new logo. While I obviously have a soft spot for designing for the music industry, this somehow felt like something a little different... and I really enjoyed it. It's not every day I get to design something "classy", you know?
