Twenty years of a killer festival.

A closer look at the @motelx identity.

Celebrating twenty years of horror on screen by doubling Motel-X into XX. And since there’s no party without balloons, the 2026 identity inflates every horror element into commemoration - hearts, hands, somewhere between party prop and evidence.🫀💉🩸

Party on the surface. Horror underneath.

A 🫀felt thanks to @theplaygroundpt & @m.u.s.g.o for the collaboration.

Yesterday, MOTELX opened its 20th edition with a bloody good celebration and we’re amazed at how this identity turned out in the space.

Thanks to @theplaygroundpt and @rfvieira for inviting us, @m.u.s.g.o for the support on the animation and to the @motelx team - twenty years of turning Cinema São Jorge into the best haunted house in town. Bravo. ❌❌

Type as the foundation.
For @alexander_marchant we built a custom typeface alongside a curated selection, together they form a system that holds the identity.

Each plays its role across collections, campaigns, and product presentations, flexing within the same structure.

A range designed to scale. Consistency across formats.

Graphic identity, type treatment and LP cover design for @_i__am__ray a contemporary music project where sound led the visual direction.

The identity is built around expressive, handmade typography and a minimal yet impactful system, translating musical energy into a strong visual presence across artwork and promotional materials.

Music has always been a key part of our practice, and this project is a reminder of how much rhythm, instinct and craft shape the way we design. by @archivesinthemaking

Archives in the making - now in writing too.

Most of what shapes a studio never gets shared. So we started a Substack. A place to share our point of view, collect the references and evolving ideas that shape what we create, and revisit the conversations that usually stay in the studio, between us and a coffee.

Archives don’t build themselves. Join us in the making 🤍

AI and generative models sit in our toolkit, but craft is still the lens everything passes through.

For this project, we pushed the craft hard to ensure it felt unmistakably rooted in skateboarding, raw, real, and lived-in, while still functioning as a system built to morph and evolve.

It’s a study in obsession: efficiency with intent, and proof that craft isn’t a detail, it’s the differentiator.

Beauty is what endures.
And every exploration you see here, every variation, every refinement, is guided by our eye, not the tool.

AI accelerates the work, but intention determines the result.

When everyone can make anything, conviction is what remains.

As we strive for work that is permanent, some of it never makes the cut, although we never doubt for one second that it was truly unique.

Here's NEXT for @beatport, a true display of a system grounded in music, made for the artists, shaped by their sound. by @archivesinthemaking
