University of Missouri Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study

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

An August study.

For University of Missouri Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine.

For the warm-up, we put the School of Medicine mark on the luggage tags – blind on the golden tan and the deep brown. The black tag carries the gold.

First, the sentence every patient hears last. We set COUNT BACKWARD FROM TEN above the count itself – ten at full size, each numeral after it smaller, until past seven there is nothing at all.

Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

The same stamp goes in the catchall tray, where the badge and keys land at the end of a call day – and the count finally runs for you.

Next, the quiet fact of the whole specialty: a patient sleeps because someone else stays awake through it all. So we drew the eye that does – its lower lid running as a vital-sign trace – and set it over SOMEONE STAYS AWAKE.

On the journal covers, where the cases get written down, it looks genuinely beautiful.

And on the toiletry bag – the one that gets packed for overnight call.

And finally, for the five who arrive each year and leave ready – a key whose teeth are cut from the same heartbeat, above INDEPENDENT PRACTICE. The gold pass goes to the black fob.

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.
