Here I have uploaded a detailed image of what the typographic design of bands name, using the iconic elements of the 80’s:

1) Stereo / BoomBox & speakers 2) Musical Tapes 3) The big clock/ watch necklaces 4)Vinyl records and record players 5) Mechanism works -Wire Cogs, screws, tracking belts etc that make up stereos, tapes , record players, clocks etc.

The concept was to base it around iconic elements of the 80’s Hip-hop era and the Ting Tings themselves.  I created a type treatment that uses all ‘bits and pieces’ to spell out ‘Ting Tings’ of specific iconic elements of the 80’s era: 1) Stereo / BoomBox 2) Musical Tapes 3) The big clock/ watch necklaces.  

Secondly the depiction of the Cap and sunglasses was to communicate the Ting tings through some of thier iconice elements: Jules’s affiliation with sunglasses and Katie’s affiliation with Caps.

Lastly I created a branding aspect which also depicts the name of the band to be used through a variety of mediums but whilst upholding the bands persona.
