CUSTOM LOGOS & MERCH FOR HEAVY MUSIC

Heavy
by
design.

Your band doesn't sound like everybody else. It shouldn't look like everybody else, either.

I design custom band logos and merch artwork built around your music, your influences, and what makes your band yours. From your first logo to your next merch drop, the goal is to create something that feels like it belongs to you.

INDEPENDENT DESIGN / BUILT AROUND THE MUSIC

MADE FOR HEAVY MUSIC

Deathcore / Heavy Metal / Hardcore / Metalcore / Hard Rock

SELECTED WORK

The logos.

Different bands call for different approaches. Some logos need to be sharp and unmistakable. Others need to be intricate, twisted, or nearly unreadable.

There's no single way heavy music should look. The artwork should fit the band behind it.

From merch and album covers to posters, packaging, and more, I create original artwork tailored to the format it's made for. If it can be printed, I can design for it.

WHAT I DO

Logos.
Merch.
More.

The focus is on logos and merch artwork, but a band's visuals don't always stop there. I also create supporting artwork to help carry that same identity across releases, shows, and everything in between.

01

Band Logos

Your logo is one of the first things people recognize about your band.

Whether you're after something raw and aggressive, detailed and intricate, or bold and stripped back, I create custom logos that reflect the music and the people behind it.

02

Merch Artwork

Merch should be more than your band name slapped onto a shirt.

I design graphics for tees, hoodies, back prints, and other merch that feel connected to your music. Something your fans would want to wear, and something you'd be proud to put on the table.

TEES / HOODIES / PRINTS

03

Album Art & Release Design

The artwork is part of how people experience a release.

From cover artwork to CD booklets, vinyl packaging, and inserts, I create visuals that carry the feeling of your music beyond the speakers.

COVERS / PACKAGING

04

Additional Artwork

Sometimes you need more than a logo or shirt design.

Alternate logos, symbols, posters, typography, and other supporting graphics can help bring everything together so your band's visuals feel connected without every piece looking the same.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK

I'm
Austin.

I'm Austin, a designer and guitarist in Fervence.

Being in a band myself, I know how much the visual side of the music matters. The logo on a flyer, the artwork on a release, the shirt someone picks up at a show. Those things become part of how people recognize and remember your band.

That's the stuff I love making.

I like working directly with bands, hearing their ideas, getting a feel for their music, and figuring out how to turn that into artwork that fits.

At the end of the day, it should feel like your band. Not mine.

COMMON QUESTIONS

Frequently asked
questions.

A few things worth knowing before getting started.

01How much does a custom design cost?

Every project is a little different, so I don't have a one-size-fits-all price list. Pricing depends on what you're looking for and how much work goes into it.

Tell me what you have in mind, and I'll put together a quote before the project begins.

02How do I get started?

Email me at .

Tell me a little about your band, what you'd like designed, and any ideas or references you have. You don't need to have everything figured out before you reach out.

03What's your design process like?

Every project starts with a conversation about what you're looking for, any ideas or references you have, and the direction you want to take.

I'll use what you've shared to create something that fits your band and what you're trying to achieve.

04How long does a project usually take?

It depends on the size and complexity of the project. Smaller projects generally take less time, while larger ones take longer.

Once I've heard what you're looking for, I'll give you an estimated turnaround time before the project begins.

05Can I request changes to a design?

Every project includes two rounds of revisions or the option to start over with a complete redesign if the original direction isn't working.

For additional changes, I also offer hourly design work. I can discuss an hourly rate with you.

06What if I don't have a clear idea of what I want?

That's completely fine. A rough idea, a few references, or just a general vibe is enough to start. You don't need every detail figured out up front.

I'm happy to take the creative lead if you'd rather leave the direction up to me.

07What files will I receive when the design is finished?

You'll receive high-resolution, production-ready files in the formats needed for your project, including PNGs with transparent backgrounds and print-ready formats where applicable.

If your printer or manufacturer has specific file requirements, let me know and I'll prepare everything accordingly. Editable source files aren't included.

08Can I use the designs on merch and other releases?

Once the project is finished and paid for, you can use the design however you want, for as long as you want. That includes merch, album releases, promotional materials, and anything else related to your band.

I retain the right to showcase the finished work in my portfolio and on social media.

09Do you print merch, or just create the designs?

I focus on the design side, so I don't handle printing or production myself. If you need help getting your designs made, I can point you toward printing partners I trust.

10Where's the rest of your work?

With the rise of AI, I've become more selective about what I share online. Publicly posted artwork can be used to train AI models without the artist's knowledge or permission, making it easier for others to imitate their work and style.

That's why I keep a smaller selection on this site. The work shown here is for example purposes only. I keep most of the work I do for real artists private to protect the integrity of their artwork. I've worked with plenty of bands and artists over the years. If you'd like to see more, email me and I can point you toward their work. Give them a listen and you might discover something new along the way.
