The Smooth Company

Total re-branding, art direction, and graphic design of a contemporary menswear label based in Newport Beach, CA. The new logo consists of the graphic mark "the nest," and the stacked type logo with an O in the center echoes its shape. The nest mark was drawn from their previous logo of the soaring crane. The look book takes the form of a montage album, with photos that show various stages of an action. The T-shirt graphics reflect the playful yet grown-up version of a surf/skate lifestyle brand.
