The Augusta Theatre Company

The Augusta Theatre Company was a small not for profit repertory theatre company based in the USA. I was the founder, artistic director and set designer.

The logo is based on a highly stylized conjoined version of Melpomene and Thalia, the two masks representing comedy and tragedy. The logo needed to be distinctive, easy to produce (a small not-for-profit theatre company never has much money for printing and ancillary costs, so it must be kept simple and economic) and fully adaptable; from large signage to printed posters, programmes, tickets, letterhead, advertising, etc. It was always produced in a single colour such as black /blue on white and white on black or coloured background.
