I was asked by First Person Travel, an “immersive narrative travel company” to design their logo. Having worked with founder Gabe Smedresman many times in the past, I knew he wanted to convey a mid-century mysterious organization, but also a sense of fractured reality, like the Twilight Zone. The two sides of the world, one with two suns, seemed to capture that perfectly.
