The Logo
After creating the original sketch, the colors were chosen based on the colors of old electronic typewriters. These colors are the same as my mother’s electronic typewriter and are meant to bring back a form of nostalgia. For the brand multi-logos were chosen to use when appropriate for the design.
The Brand Story
For the past two to four years there has been a rise with millennials who have discovered the need to escape screens and technology by slowing down to enjoy the process of writing on the old fashioned typewriter. When I was in 3rd through 5th grade due to the reluctance of my mother to buy a computer I was forced to type reports on her old electronic typewriter. What became tedious became calming with the clicking of the keys, dinging of the bell and every so often putting whiteout over a mistake and typing over it.
The typewriter of my childhood soon became broken, keys began to stick, the cord lost and in my search to find a replacement or at least someone that could fix it I found myself going back and forth lugging this heavy typewriter around or searching for manufacturers that no longer existed. Becoming frustrated with the experience Lethe ( l-ee-th-e) was created.
