Collection of original STPD graphics and visual experiments

ARCHIVE
410.

The brand before the product. The experiments behind the marks. The direction beyond the clothes.

FILE 001PAST / THE LANGUAGE

BEFORE IT WAS
A BRAND, IT WAS
AN INSTINCT.

STPD started with a simple belief: an idea can look wrong and still make perfect sense. Crowns, broken bulbs, wrong-way arrows, melting characters and hand-drawn marks became the first vocabulary.

Original STPD crown, lightbulb, character and symbol graphics — ORIGINAL GRAPHIC LANGUAGE / WORKING ARCHIVE

FILE 003PAST + PRESENT + FUTURE / COLORWAY VAULT

THE COLORWAY
VAULT.

Original pieces sit beside alternate and future color studies. The graphics stay in the same STPD family while the garment, ink and environment shift the feeling.
