I developed the brand identity for Tyra, an ongoing research and development initiative into real-time engine systems, proprietary effects, licensed software foundations, and platform add-ons. Tyra serves as a unifying brand across these efforts — a coherent identity for internal development and a mark of quality for released products and subsystems.

Scope of Work

  • Development of visual identity and concept.
  • Design of wordmark.
  • Design of illustrated logo mark.
  • Development of variant.
  • Production of vector artwork for final outputs.

Identity

The goal was a brand that captures the exploration and wonder of real-time worlds — both technically grounded and visually expansive. The mark needed to feel like a window into another dimension: something that could belong equally to a piece of foundational software and to the fictional worlds built with it.

Deliverables

A set of graphics were developed as an initial package of branding assets. All final artwork was produced as digital vector illustrations.

Lettering

The wordmark sets Tyra in a clean, open letterform with just enough softness to suggest something beyond the purely technical — legible and precise, but with a quiet sense of the fantastical.

Illustrated Logo

A circular bauble containing an endless ocean under a star-filled night sky, the water rendered in shifting gradients of blue, cyan, and magenta. A warm pearlescent wave breaks the horizon line, giving the mark depth and movement. The overall effect suggests a world glimpsed through a lens — contained, luminous, and otherworldly.

A dark background version in which the logo mark reads as a glowing orb against deep space, amplifying the sense of depth and light within the mark.
