Brand Identity

In craftingCypherpunk online store's brand, I took influnce from cyberpunk and sci-fi. After the key visual design, I crafted a minimalist logo using Avenir Next light in all cap style, exuding a sleek, lightweight feel. This aligns seamlessly with the website's aesthetics, creating a memorable identity. Adding glitched art effects intensified the futuristic vibe, enhancing the store's cutting-edge appeal.
