Quarry Sound

A record label identity that survives being cropped to a 60-pixel streaming thumbnail.

A record label’s identity now lives mostly as a thumbnail in a streaming app. Quarry’s previous mark had fine detail that dissolved entirely at that size.

Sixty pixels wide

We designed the mark at 60 pixels first and only then scaled up. The result is blunt, high contrast, and still legible at the size where it actually appears.

Sleeves that survive compression

Release artwork follows the same rule: one strong shape, no gradients, tested at thumbnail size before anything else is decided.
