Marks & mayhem

The Logo Wall

A magazine called Ugly can't have one polite logo. The identity is a living thing — it drips, cracks, gets stapled together at 2 a.m. and shows up anyway. Every mark below earned its place on the wall.

Ugly Magazine galaxy plaque masthead
The Plaque — the masthead. Galaxy type on glitter, the face of the magazine.
Ugly Magazine gold cosmic secondary mark
The Cosmic Seal — the secondary mark. Gold serif, deep space, no notes.
Ugly Magazine impasto oil paint logo
The Impasto — cracked oil paint you can feel. Palette knife, no mercy.
Ugly Magazine stapled cardboard deconstruction logo
The Deconstruction — torn cardboard, staples, tape. Made in a garage at 2 a.m.
Ugly Magazine ransom-note collage logo
The Ransom Note — studio favorite. Leopard print, caution tape, cut and paste.
Ugly Magazine cubist slime logo
The Cubist Slime — Picasso meets toxic waste. Barely holding together, on purpose.
Ugly Magazine dripping graffiti logo
The Drip — the original wall tag. Dripping graffiti, wet paint energy.
Ugly Magazine pop-art sticker badge logo
The Sticker — pop-art badge. Slap it on a lamppost.
Ugly Magazine distressed gig-poster logo with sunset gradient lettering
The Gig Poster — sunset-gradient ink, distressed to perfection. Issue No. 3 forever.
Ugly Magazine peeling gold-foil sticker letters over torn paper collage
The Gold Peel — gold-foil stickers curling up, teal and magenta underneath. Pure treasure.
