Overview
I worked closely with CEO and the leadership team of metaverse pioneers Journee, they make innovative cloud based interactive streaming tech that creates photorealistic 3D environments for people to gather, get inspired, and communicate in. Journee makes this possible and the metaverse available to anyone, anywhere, without needing to install any additional software or hardware. I created a strategic and visionary brand that has play and expression baked into it. The new logo does have a base form for simplicity and to resolve on all mediums effectively, yet the ‘O’ in the wordmarque can be seen as a visual metaphor — to enter a door, start a journey into another world or just be used as a space for the in-house artists to play. Resulting in an ever-changing and reactive identity.
In essence it is a dynamic object, one in constant motion that represents the energy of creativity and the evolving nature of culture and art.
The “O” shape can be fluid and have irregular abstract textures, colours and flex it’s own form, morphing based on cues from the metaverse environments in which it inhabits.
The only thing we can be sure of is change, the brand reflects this.

A realtime organic identity
The demo below was created using Spline to show how it can be used at a basic level, it’s up to the imagination and skill of the internal artists to create, play and flex with the space resulting in a constantly evolving identity and brand.
