Logo Design
Roots and Rhythm

Client: Roots & Rhythm
Role: Logo Designer

Tools: Adobe Illustrator

This project was all about giving Roots & Rhythm a fresh new logo that blends its rich cultural roots with a modern, global vibe. To do that, I leaned into the Retro and Antique Typography trend, which felt like the perfect match for their timeless, authentic style. I chose Oddity Script, a bold, decorative serif with lots of character and customized it to reflect the brand’s musical soul. The ampersand became a treble clef, and I added musical notes as the stems of both ‘R’ letters to really tie everything together.

The whole design is in black to keep things clean and let the details shine. The final logo brings together vintage style and music-inspired elements in a way that feels grounded but full of energy. It’s flexible enough to work across all kinds of media, and it gives Roots & Rhythm a standout identity that speaks to people who love creativity and culture.
