THE CHALLENGE
COMPIL3R is a software engineer by day, DJ by night, with a growing fanbase but no cohesive visual identity that captured his energetic, genre-blending sound. His previous logo wasn’t connecting with his audience or working as a recognizable brand asset. He needed something bold and distinctive that could live beyond the DJ booth. Something fans would wear, recognize, and actually connect with.
THE SOLUTION
We built COMPIL3R’s brand around a neon green, pixelated dinosaur: a nod to the dinosaurs who partied hard before their time was up. This playful yet mysterious mascot made the brand instantly recognizable, adding a fun, digital-era edge to his persona. The logo mashes up the Chrome dino (that “no internet” icon every dev knows) with Barney-level friendliness through neon purple and green, creating a glitchy, glowing mascot that bridges COMPIL3R’s two worlds: developer by day, DJ by night. It’s an inside joke that immediately signals who he is while giving fans something they actually want to wear and rally around. The logotype and logomark were designed to work separately and together, ensuring versatility across merch, social media, and event branding. Instead of forcing a turntable into the design, we found a typeface with natural rhythm that subtly referenced movement and sound.
MY PART
As Creative Director, here’s what I did:
✔ Developed COMPIL3R’s full visual identity, including logo system and brand guidelines
✔ Helped define brand values to connect with the right audience
✔ Built a merch-ready brand that fans could rally behind
✔ Led creative direction across social graphics, promo assets, and event visuals to amplify COMPIL3R’s reach and recognition
THE RESULT
COMPIL3R’s new brand identity took off. His merch started selling out, fans began creating original fan art, and his neon pixel dino became an iconic emblem in his community. His presence in the electronic music scene is now stronger, more cohesive, and instantly recognizable—proving that a DJ’s brand is more than just the music, it’s a movement.
