Kane Dies
Brand identity for Kane Dies, a political satire project in the tradition of Citizen Kane. Logo, wordmark, and illustration work.
Kane Dies is a political satire project drawing from the iconography of Citizen Kane: the media mogul as cautionary figure, the promise of power as a long con. The brand leans into campaign poster aesthetics: bold typography, high-contrast illustration, the visual language of a political movement that knows it is a joke and commits anyway.
The K Mark
A standalone logomark that works at any scale, from lapel pin to billboard. The letterform reads as institutional, just loose enough to feel subversive.
The Face
A portrait illustration built for reproduction: sticker, poster, zine cover. The style sits somewhere between woodcut and screen print: high contrast, flat color, designed to survive bad printing conditions.
The Wordmark
The full Kane Dies logotype. Set in a condensed grotesque with deliberate tracking, the kind of type that shows up on campaign materials and protest signage. The name does the heavy lifting; the mark stays out of the way.
