Project Background
I worked with the Director/Screenwriter and Producer through out this project to come up with a brand identity for this short film. They needed a logo, social media templates, deck designs, and a website design.

About Remnants of Nova
“Remnants of Nova tells the story of Dani and Nova on one chaotic day where career smashing potential and a near-death experience collide. Dani Cadieux is a rising queer artist, with a social media following that scores her an opening act slot. Nova, her partner and the band’s guitarist, struggles with depression, and the pressure of the night leaves them at wits end. Will their love for each other be enough?”
Merch
I was really excited to design some tshirt designs for their funding campaign. I wanted to capture big emotional moments in the film by including a still and quote in each design. Shirts and more are available for purchase on their redbubble page.
The Logo
The 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.
Basic Branding
The director describes the film with these words: Hope & Strength, Tension, Pop-Rock, Queer Love. 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”.
