Escape My Room - logo sketch

Initial sketches for Escape My Room logo. You can see some of my sketching process, like printing out the letters after I vectorized them to add sketch the ornament and filigree over them. I've also included some other sketches/styles they decided not to move forward with.

Escape My Room is an escape room company in New Orleans. Founded in July 2014, they opened their first escape room in June 2015. A team of 18 expert artists, producers, actors, writers, and designers help craft each experience.

They approached Clio + Calliope late last year hoping to refresh their brand and website to match the immersive experience of their escape rooms, which incorporate New Orleans history and have a distinctive vintage, mysterious feel.

We refreshed their logo and redesigned their site with tactile, ornate design elements that draw inspiration from 20th century Mardi Gras ball invitations, old storybooks, and vintage advertising.
