GSN

Iconic Labs purchased  LGBTQI+’ leader news provider,  Gaystarnews, with the aim to revamp the digital publication and fine tune it to connect with a younger and ever more fluid generation.

LoveGunn was asked to tackled the brief from two routes rooted on naming. One route was developed under the acronym GSN, and a second route keeping the publication’s long and descriptive name.

When creating this logomark, I tried to represent the non straightness of a LGBTQI+ culture news site.  A custom G was built from geometries that lack right angles. Because the simplest way to summarize what it is to be gay, is to point at everything that isn’t straight.
