creating this logo, demanded a thought process that took inspiration all the way from historic album covers to pop art.

primal screams sixth studio album cover, XTRMNTR live released on 31 january 2000.

marvin jarrett’s key source of inspiration stems from music. one of the references was the scottish rock band, primal scream (above). stripping the album cover to unleash a base for the official UROK logo, we arrived at a simple but utilitarian logo that resembled the language of the punk (clash) and the rock genre.

the clash and their iconic military style graphics.
