Redesign the logo and brand identity for Montreal-based graffiti boutique: Le Sino. The identity should give a fresh, all encompassing look that can represent the various artists that Le Sino supports.

My main approach with the logo was to utilize both the iconic spray paint can and the art it can create to shape Le Sino’s new brand identity. Every new work of street art begins with the acquisition of a can of paint. Through the use of circles, I emulated the top of a spray can. The asymmetric space in the logo alludes to a can being taken from the shelf and sold to an artist.
The removal of one circle sparks the creation of a new artwork that will find itself on display among all other works in the urban collection that is the streets of Montreal. The pattern of the logo is versatile and can expand, and much like the acquisition of a new can of paint, begins a new artistic journey. This redesign emphasizes the limitless potential each can of paint represents and situates Le Sino at the heart of the creative process for a community of artists without limits.
