Infrastructure Humanities Group

Visual identity and website for “Infrastructure Humanities Group”, a research group at the University of Glasgow.

The logo features custom typography by me, a rectangular take on the Futura letterforms, which are a nod to Paul Renners initial sketches for Futura.

The concept of the identity revolves around transition/transformation and inversion/glitch which are two key conceptual themes in critical infrastructure studies.
