About Remnants of Nova
Basic Branding
These are words the filmmakers gave to describe the film: Hope & Strength, Tension, Pop-Rock, Queer Love. These words shaped the final identity of the brand. Supernovas, space, and pop-rock concerts are big motifs in the film as well as “deep blues, Dani’s red hair, Nova’s bleached blonde hair, bright whites – lights on stage and the stars”.
The Logo
The final logo is a dramatic bold sans serif contrasted by a thin circle centered on the word “Nova” (Nova being the main character). A stylized star sits on the edge of the circle to embody the tension in the film as well as a symbol for a supernova or star explosion. It’s also reminiscent of pop-rock iconography and pop culture.
Instagram Templates
These templates needed to be versatile to allow as little as a few words, to a paragraph depending on what they wanted to post. They also allow them to use stills from the film, stock photos, or neutral star backgrounds.
Alternate Posters
When I entered the project, the official poster for the film was the only creative they had. The posters above were designed by me as alternates with the new logo and colors.
Website Design
Pictured above are newly designed webpages for their website that are under construction.
Merch
I was really excited to design some tshirt designs for their funding campaign as well. I wanted to capture big emotional moments in the film on these shirts by including a still and quote in each design. These shirts and more are available for purchase on their redbubble page.
