About Us We're Never Before Seen (NBS) — a creative studio. We want something with personality — human, friendly, approachable, and a little quirky. The Brief We want our name to be our logo. "Never Before Seen" set in type that has genuine character — expressive, distinctive, the kind of type that makes you look twice. This is a type-first project. If your strength is illustration or icon-based marks, this probably isn't the right fit. For reference: Fiasco () and Goodside () — the confidence and craft in those typographic identities is the energy we're after. What We Need Our primary idea is a "Never Before Seen" wordmark stacked into a square format — but we're genuinely open. If you have a concept that captures the right feeling and doesn't follow that format exactly, bring it. A short-form "NBS" version with the same typographic energy is also required. Deliverables Full wordmark Short-form / NBS version Production-ready files (SVG, PNG, dark + light variants) The Feel Personal. Friendly. Approachable. Not corporate, not generic. Something that punches above its weight. You're a Good Fit If Typography is your primary craft, not an afterthought You have strong opinions about type and can articulate them Your portfolio shows type-led identity work specifically — not just logos with type in them To Apply Share your portfolio with examples of type-led work, and a quick note on your approach.
