What is an Odd Future?
Odd Future is the name of a hip-hop musical collective and a recording studio in Los Angeles, founded by Tyler The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, and Frank Ocean. The brand stopped existing at the beginning of 2016.
In terms of visual identity, Odd Future was very unique. The bright colors and funny idea behind the logo made the badge instantly recognizable and eye-catching. The funny hand-drawn emblem brilliantly represented the sense of humor and brave spirit of the collective’s members.
The logo for the collective and studio was introduced in 2011 and has stayed untouched up to the end of Odd Future existence. It was an emblem with the two letters, “O” and “F”, drawn as two donuts, in a yellow and pink color palette. The “O” was overlapping the “F”, and both donuts were decorated with small blue sprinkles. The softened contours and lively color palette made the logo look very friendly and even childish.
The unique Odd Future logo has no lettering on it, just two stylized hands-drawn characters, which do not have any commercial typeface analogs. As for the color palette of Odd Future visual identity, it was based on the combination of pink and yellow with an addition of electric blue. These shades reflect energy, passion, movement, and fun.
