The objective was to create a unified signature for two industry titans—one a Grammy-winning record producer, the other a Juilliard-trained Emmy winner. The identity is inspired by their favorite cocktail: a martini with two olives and a twist. I translated this into the anatomy of an eighth note, where each olive represents one of the musicians and the lemon twist forms the note’s flag. The result is a rigorous geometric mark that bridges the worlds of classical notation and legendary record production through a personal tradition.
