Hellectric Music is an urban club party and record label, specialising in featuring dance music, artists and party videos. With that in mind, this website design needed an ‘edge’. Keeping with an ‘electric vibe’ I created the logo with the electric blue colours and included a flame, referencing the word ‘hell’ and verocity in the name. This website relied on a few more images than normal (e.g. custom backgroun...
