Style

Albert’s logo designs frequently have a sculpted or engraved feel to them as he successfully uses light and shadow to give a sense of depth to each graphic, for a comforting traditional feel. However, his work is never too complex to be used at all sizes and on all media, and its timeless quality often means brands don’t need to redesign for many years to come.
