VIMM Metal Band Logo and album Design
It's always great when an old classmate contacts you again after several years and it's not a network marketing scheme.
In April 2023, my former high school deskmate Aleksei, who plays guitar in the Estonian black metal band VIMM, approached me to create a logo for the band and the visual identity for their debut album. The brief left plenty of creative freedom, while still follwing the band's dark, organic aesthetic.
Although I’ve learned to delegate more and more over the years, this was one project I couldn’t hand over to another designer. I wanted to do it myself.
In addition to the logo, I designed the album packaging and CD artwork.
Album case and CD.
Illustrations for the album (a flaming tree with human figures falling from its roots) were created by Margit Kunnus, an intern at Walgus, whose detailed drawings inspired by the logo became the visual foundation of the release.
My role was to bring everything together into a coherent identity across the logo, packaging and printed materials.
