sumingising magazine
Brand Identity, Editorial, Social Media

sumingising magazine is a contemporary digital gallery/magazine and literary space for emerging creators to show their work and also connect. 

The logo was designed to take direct inspiration from the word “sumingising”, Ilocano for “rise”/”to rise” and often refers to the “rising sun”. Taking a minimal approach and inspiration from tribal design, the logo is a representation of artists who are rising above their trials and tribulations, giving them a platform and a voice when they feel like no one will pay attention. 


The horizon line in which the rising sun sits on is a reference to Baybayin, a pre-colonial writing system in the Philippines. The symbol represents the consonant-vowel for “Ha”. It’s textured look gives the impression of an ink stamp.
