Air House Records by Michael Lassiter


CLIENT

An independent record label based in Wichita, KS, that specializes in minimal/ambient/dreamy music.


BRIEF

A logo that reflected the nature of their label: minimal, mellow, and “all about the music.”


APPROACH

I thought about the somewhat meditative/unhurried aspects of playing records: putting the needle down, flipping the record over, etc. Vintage stereo equipment came to mind, such as old speaker grilles. I then created three letterforms out of a grid of dots (“a,” “h,” and “r”) and composed them in such a way as to give a sense of a turntable tonearm/needle.

As soon as Michael submitted this logo, we knew it was perfect for us. After an initial discussion where we described the mood and feeling that we were looking for, Michael presented a logo that captured it perfectly. His ability to respond to our feedback and achieve the aesthetic that we were searching for was outstanding. We couldn’t be more pleased with his work. — David Lord, founder of Air House Records
