AlphaCore Wealth Advisory × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study

From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world logos.

An August study.

For AlphaCore Wealth Advisory.

First, for the warm-up, we put the AlphaCore lockup on the luggage tags – a black tag between navy and warm tan. The black tag carries the press in gold.

Next, we took "What You Earn Should Be Kept" at its word and drew a keep – the fortified inner tower of a castle, the room where everything worth defending is stored.

A bag whose whole job is keeping things claims it first. Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

The journals carry the keep too, in navy and warm tan – the plans get written inside the walls.

Then, the core. A solid alpha holds the center of an old star chart, with satellites in orbit around it, each path tilted its own way – a portfolio built so that no two things move together. "Guided by Evidence" rings the chart.

On the keychains it reads like a pocket observatory. The black fob carries it in gold.

And finally, "Where Complexity Ends and Legacy Begins" as one unbroken line – it enters as a tangle and leaves dead straight. We pressed it into the golden tan catchall tray, where the day's complexity gets emptied out every evening. It looks genuinely beautiful.

We made this out of love. Leatherius Woodman is on a mission to create and share artifacts of beauty, craft and love – this study is one of them, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Every image is a render – how we prototype before cutting a die.
