City Alley

Challenge

We were approached by our client in the infancy of their band.  So much so, the band hadn't squared down their name yet!

We were tasked with creating the branding, marketing, and outreach from the band since before its inception.

Solution

Our approach for this project was very unique.  We had essentially full creative control as to where the branding, and marketing should be.  This is what we created.

Logo Design

When it came to the logo, our client was pretty open about the concept.  We were instructed to come up with a design that really lent itself well to the band name, "City Alley".  It had to be modern, edgy, and gritty.  We then proceeded to create the logo below.

Website Design

In terms of the website, we wanted to take an approach that was unlike most band websites.  We wanted to really showcase City Alley in a new and inspiring way.  We proceeded to design the website below with great features such as a music player to play their latest single, and upcoming shows area, and a modern photo gallery.

  • 5,000+ followers during first month with minimal content
