Echo signs artists precisely because they don't sound alike, so a rigid identity would have been a lie. We designed a system built to be broken: a wordmark that each release may stretch, echo or degrade according to simple rules, and a sleeve grid that keeps the catalog recognizable in a record-store rack even when every cover misbehaves differently.

We also art-directed the first three releases and designed a web shop where the catalog plays, sorts and sells itself.
