Wake Up John Brand
Complete brand identity for a roots rock band.
Five years of logos, album art, website, and posters for my own band, from the original duo logo through the alarm clock mark and the Fugitive Closure cover.
The first logo was silhouette portraits of the founding duo, back when Wake Up John was just the two of us.

When we grew into a quartet, the silhouettes stopped making sense. The alarm clock was the obvious fit for the name, and it holds up at any size: album covers, posters, stickers.

The current version makes room for the full band name and still works everywhere we've needed to put it.


The Fugitive Closure art is built around a photo of Pulpit Rock: one small figure, a lot of sky.
