Solution

Proper Dirty

A unisex label which expresses the art of playwriting and theatrics through merging personal narratives with modern silhouettes.

Design direction

Many of the design elements draw from theatre aesthetics.
The typographic direction is inspired by Founder & Creative Director Ashkan Alaie’s background and roots in the industry.

Typeface

The choice of Franklin Gothic as the primary typeface was influenced by traditional messaging boards seen outside theatres, whilst Production Type’s Sainté Colombe completes the typographic system with its expressive nature, like music, an irreplaceable counterpart in performative arts.

LOGO

When creating the split custom wordmark – designed to be separated for a diptych usage of application – the team looked to the Odeon cinema in West Vancouver.
