The Challenge

Magnet Theater is a performance space and training ground for comedic talent in New York City. Open since 2005, they wanted to strengthen their brand and develop a unique voice that reflected what set them apart.

As my sketches make clear, this was a fun logo to work on. I really got to play in a way that felt easy to connect with. As a rule, I only sketched in the hours after I left the stage after a class or showcase. I wanted to capture the energy I felt when leaving the stage. The energy is inspiring
