Monograms

Monograms

two letters, one shape

the flow was created but didn’t look like Paprclip yet

An ongoing series of custom monograms drawn for couples, small studios, and one very particular stationer. Each one starts from a pair of initials and ends as a single drawn mark.

A full refresh of Paprclip’s core screens translating a brand-new visual identity into a product people will use every day, without losing what already worked.

taking commissions

Two initials is all I need to start.

Two directions, one round of refinement, files in about three weeks.

START A COMMISSION

WHAT I’D DO DIFFERENTLY

I used to send three directions per commission. Two is better. The third was always a hedge, and it made people choose with their heads instead of their eyes.
