A record store called On The Flipside. Brief: a logo that lives up to the name. We drew an ambigram — reads FLIP upright, SIDE upside down, same letterforms. One mark, two readings.

§ 01 — The Mark

Flip it. It still reads.

Custom letterforms, drawn so each glyph holds at 0° and 180°. The trick is in the drawing.

On The Flipside primary mark — ambigram reading FLIP top, SIDE rotated bottom

§ 02 — Both Grounds

Equal weight, light or dark.

Drawn once, deployed everywhere. The mark holds its optical balance on either ground — sleeve, tote, fascia, t-shirt.

Mark on light and dark grounds — paired application

§ 03 — Palette

Six colours. One logic.

A paired palette designed alongside the mark — each pair a record sleeve in disguise. Range without losing coherence.

Palette grid — four paired applications

The idea
is the logo.
