project overview

Kymēa is a conceptual luxury music consultancy. The logo design was inspired by Bernhard Leitner’s 1969 Soundcube, which explores sound’s movement in space.

The central challenge of this brief was to visualise something inherently intangible: sound.

In a saturated market where logos often rely on predictable visual tropes such as waveforms, vinyl records, or musical notes, it was essential to move beyond clichés and develop a concept that truly reflects the essence of this conceptual brand.

The brand isn’t just about playing music. It’s about curating experiences. Bespoke soundtracks designed to elevate and transform physical environments. When we listen to music, something happens within us. It connects to memory, emotion, and atmosphere. That became the foundation of the concept: the idea that music has a spatial and emotional presence.

Soundcube which was used as a basis for inspiration. With what felt like limitless options, I asked myself “What are the constraints?”

At its core, the logo needed to communicate the concept of space. Not as a static backdrop, but as a dynamic environment shaped by sound. At the same time, music itself is inherently non-linear and deeply personal; it evokes unique emotional responses that differ from person to person.

As such, the identity required an organic quality. Something that could suggest fluidity, growth, and transformation, much like the ebb and flow of music. Multiple sketches were created before the final form was settled on.
