HYP

visual identity design

HYP was a clothing and merchandise brand, catered to teens and young adults. A play on the words “hype” and “hip”, the brand was all about bold self expression while being at the forefront of fashion trends.

Objectives

  • Design the official logo for HYP, one that conveys the forward-looking spirit of the brand

  • The mark should have modern design aesthetics, but must also be exciting

  • It should embody the character of the brand: bold yet approachable

Final Design

HYP is all about bold self expression. The letter Y stylized as a bird is a visual metaphor for uplifting ideas in bold and exciting ways.

Together with the upward tilt of the H and P letters, the wordmark creates a subtle arrow-like silhouette, reinforcing the idea of being exciting and forward-looking.
