CLIENT: ANDREA WALKER

201 Dance Company

I first met Andrea Walker through a mutual friend who was working on a graphic novel and held dance auditions for movement reference photography.
I took the photographs, which would serve as reference for the book illustrations. Andrea Walker was the dancer we auditioned. Right from that moment we both knew Andrea would go on to greater things. A few years later, after attending studies at The Broadway Dance Center in New York City, Andrea decided to form 201 Dance Company. I wanted to work with Andrea again, and designed the logo for him as a thank you for the work he did with us.

The concept for the logo and the name came from his room number in the hotel he was staying at in New York: Room 201.

I wanted to convey a sense of movement in the logo – so I focused on aspects of the stage/lights and kinetic shapes which can convey the idea of movement in a solid form. Andrea also had a very clear idea about the logo being structured and contemporary. He wanted a bold statement – so I selected a very minimal, sans-serif font.
