About 85 REWIND
85 REWIND is poppy Guitar driven synthwave that will take you back to the time of your childhood heroes. Based in Nuremberg Germany. The 1980s are best known for extroverted dreams, desires, illusions and the strive for a colorful reality. Their music is not just a simple set of songs. Rather, the musicians want to tell a story influenced by their own history as a band and inspired by Miami Vice and other TV series they all grew up with. For CREATEBRILLIANCE the mission was to visualize this mindset in a complete branding for the band including a website and social media.

The bands unique musical style should be reflected by the artwork as well. The artwork assets were used on all popular social media outlets and streaming plattforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, TikTok, Soundcloud, Spotify, Apple Music and many others. Therefore a huge set various plattform specific artworks were created for the band including stills, mockups and videos.

The Logo.

The logo was developed in a multi-step, iterative process with the band. The first step was to develop the fonts. In the process, the band decided on a custom handwritten element for "REWIND" and a second font for "85". To convey the neon synthwave feel, a neon-like color and glow effect was applied to the handwritten font to make it look like a sign. In addition, a triangle - as a typical 80s element - was added in the background to imply a retrospective element that would also give more emphasis to the word "REWIND". Additionally the triangle helped to enclose the font based logo in a certain way. Finally, a palm tree was added to give the logo a tropical vibe with a reference to California or Miami.

The band has a clear focus on 80s elements to create a certain nostalgic retro feeling. To reinforce this approach visually, key elements for the band e.g. the album artwork were visualized with several mockups like vinyl and cassettes. Such strong visual effects reinforce the nostalgic feeling that is to be transported with the music.
