Fontana Records

(A sublabel of Universal Music UK)

Commissioned by Universal Music UK’s newly launched sub-label, Fontana Records, to develop its brand guidelines and set the visual tone for the label’s next chapter.

Spanning contemporary artists such as Jordan Rakei, AURORA and Jeff Goldblum, alongside the legacy catalogues of Nina Simone, John Coltrane and Ella Fitzgerald, Fontana is enroute to become home to some of the most groundbreaking jazz-adjacent artists – its visual direction needed to reflect exactly that.


Stylised logo designed using the original Fontana logo to mark the new chapter of the label.



Unlike a traditional guideline document, we created a ‘style guide’ which would work as a manifesto for Fontana’s visual identity across web, socials and print. Borrowing from this manifesto, several collaterals and assets were designed including branded merch, stickers, and digital banners to name a few. This also included a special range of merch for their mixer event at The Great Escape Festival 2026.

The style guide continues to evolve as Fontana and I work together closely on a range of new designs.
