Challenge
Each group needed a distinct identity within the same recognizable game culture, often with only a name, theme, or character direction as the starting point.
Independent identity and channel work created since 2012 for World of Warcraft guilds, platforms, addons, and creators.
Hundreds of identity and channel assets, with Wago.io as the most recognizable piece.
I was the sole designer on these identities, working directly with each client from brief to final assets.
Since 2012, World of Warcraft community work has been a continuous thread through my independent design practice, connecting work for guilds, streamers, community platforms, addons, and Discord communities.
Each group needed a distinct identity within the same recognizable game culture, often with only a name, theme, or character direction as the starting point.
Across this body of work, I used a repeatable approach: isolate the strongest name or symbol, build a clear silhouette, then extend it into the formats that each community actually uses.
Strong silhouettes and compact lockups were prioritized because many of these identities live first as small avatars or stream marks before expanding into banners and campaign graphics.
The work spans many years and clients, so every mark needed to function in its own context while remaining practical for avatars, banners, streams, websites, and community channels.
A broad collection of logos and channel systems for community platforms, guilds, creators, and addon ecosystems, ranging from minimal monograms to illustrated competitive marks.
Since 2012, the work has supported a wide range of community identities and laid the groundwork for later esports, addon, and gaming-platform projects.
Seen together, this sustained independent work shows how repeated community projects sharpened my ability to find a distinctive visual idea quickly and make it useful across formats.
