Monumental sounds

StudioWest is a recording studio with a singular mission: whatever is made here will be monumental. This SoCal institution, with its five decades of musical history in recording artists like Alicia Keys and Fall Out Boy, has grown a presence that’s renowned and it was time for a brand that matched.

A thoughtful chorus of identities

Increasing their impact and size in the last fifteen years, StudioWest launched TRAC, The Recording Arts Center, a two-year diploma program to help give students a track to a career in audio and video recording, production, and post-production. They needed cohesion between their school and studio, along with their newly-acquired offsite recording location, The Satellite.

With a new visual identity that took their offerings into consideration, as well as their physical spaces, we then embarked upon a revamped website, helping them organize their studio, school, and newly acquired Satellite online.

Our work was about taking this heart-driven, massively talented group of studio owners, industry professionals, and educators and making their brand unique, timeless, and above all, monumental.

Janelle Monae
  • Give her a snack and she’ll love you forever. This is one extremely food motivated human. Tacos, cheese n crackers, and dark chocolate are all accepted forms of currency.
  • She once traveled around the world by herself in less than three months. Her favorite places on the planet (so far) are Chiapas and Sicily. 
  • Her first word was moon.

Theme song:
Rüfüs du Sol (Lane 8 Remix)
  • Proud 90’s U.S. Space Camp Graduate where I got as close as I was gonna get to my kid aspirations of being an astronaut. Now super happy to be an Earthonaut (like you).
  • For fun I read wikipedia articles, watch youtube explainers, and look up the etymology of words, often leading to waaayyyy too many tabs open in my browser.
  • I’ve DJed on an art car at Burning Man. My “theme song” is what got the vibe going.
