The Websites
tetragrammaton →
Rick Rubin wanted to show how he sees the world. He aimed to make a platform that helps people discover and build a community. Tetragrammaton is an always-changing display of ideas and artworks that can inspire people.
Transmission Template →
Taking inspiration from Rubin's tetragrammaton, Transmission is a simple and customizable framework for anyone to share their interests. It features layouts for audiovisual media and members-only content.
The Process
We experimented with different sizes of the dot in relation to the ‘t’ in the wordmark. We aimed to create a bold shorthand while aligning with the original logo.
“This is cool.”
