WWD CLUB CULTURE BRANDING, CREATIVE DIRECTION       Brand Identity

Creative Direction: Eric Pak
Designer: Logan Case WWD Club Culture is a new event spotlighting the creative forces shaping the United Kingdom’s cultural capital across fashion, entertainment, and media. Inspired by the debut of WWD’s Culture Club list—a curated roundup of the UK’s most influential tastemakers and disruptors—the event offers an insider look at how London is redefining global influence in 2025.

The design direction draws from London’s iconic underground club culture—gritty, experimental, and cool-toned—while maintaining a sleek, modern finish. A sense of connectivity was central to the system: two intersecting spheres in the visual identity symbolize the dynamic relationship between UK and US creative spheres, existing in dialogue but with distinct energies.

Our team was tasked with developing a visual identity that felt sleek, timeless, and cinematic—an homage to WWD’s editorial legacy and the grandeur of classic award shows.

The design system was anchored in concentric ring motifs. These are abstract representations of WWD’s layered history, subtly woven throughout the branding to reflect decades of style and influence.

Fashion Loves Food is an annual black-tie gala hosted by WWD, The Style Gate, and Galateo & Friends. It celebrates the intersection of high fashion, fine dining, and Italian hospitality. I was tasked with refining the brand identity to honor WWD’s editorial legacy while introducing a more human, intimate touch reflective of the culinary world.

The logo was reinterpreted with a hand-drawn heart mark, adding warmth and individuality to a classically rooted typographic system. The result is a brand that bridges luxury retail and refined cuisine—where fashion meets the rituals of shared meals, taste, and storytelling.

I was tasked with rebranding the event for a Gen Z audience—refreshing the visual identity while honoring select design cues from previous years. Rather than building something entirely new, the creative direction involved a return to past forms—reimagining outdated assets through a more refined, modern-classical lens. This process was part archival, part reinvention: adapting legacy visuals to meet contemporary design standards and cultural relevance.

Deliverables included a full visual refresh—spanning large-scale wayfinding, printed signage, digital assets, social media content, and a redesigned event website.

            In the midst of the 2020 pandemic, I set out to create a digital service that would foster human connection in an isolated world. That’s how Frank was born: a live-streaming music platform designed to bring people together through shared virtual experiences. The visual identity is built around a custom font inspired by an ubiquitous sans-serif font and broadcasting forms, reflecting both clarity and connectivity at the heart of the platform.

Hydrocarbon is a conceptual fashion brand confronting the environmental toll of human overconsumption. Named after hydrogen and carbon, two essential elements to life, the brand explores how industrial greed and excess are accelerating ecological collapse. From water pollution in the textile industry to carbon emissions by the auto-industry, Hydrocarbon responds to an urgent need for environmental accountability.

This first iteration focuses on oil spills: human-made disasters born of negligence and overreach. Inspired by the visual structure of the Kaftan typeface, the collection follows a three-part narrative: water, oil, and human touch.

The first piece, a non-restrictive bodysuit, mirrors the fluidity and freedom of water. The second, a sheer, form-clinging gown worn over the first, represents oil—constraining the body like a slick, suffocating spill. CMYK prints of hydrogen and carbon evoke the toxic sheen left behind. The final piece, an overall set, nods to the uniforms of fishermen and cleanup crews. This symbolizes humanity’s dual role as both destroyer and reluctant caretaker.

Lovers & Friends is a major R&B and hip-hop music festival celebrating the legacy of Black American music. I reimagined the festival's core branding through a bold, graffiti-inspired typeface—an intentional nod to one of hip-hop's four foundational elements. The final design explores composition, color, and texture to channel the genre's raw energy while preserving the nostalgia of early 2000s mixtape aesthetics.
