Zendesk × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study

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

An August study.

For Zendesk.

First, for the warm-up, we pressed the Zendesk logo on a trio of luggage tags – a deep pine green and a pale sand beside the logo's own black. The black tag carries the gold.

Next, the one we kept returning to. A single unbroken line arrives as a tangle and leaves straight, ending in a period – CONSIDER IT RESOLVED.

We pressed it into the two things that ride along to every event – the toiletry bag, in warm stone gray over deep espresso, and the keychains in deep pine green and golden tan.

Looks great when stamped onto the leather.

Then, one for Relate and every room like it. Eleven thin arcs set out from the edges of the map and land at a single small room, the door standing open – THE WHOLE WORLD IN ONE ROOM.

It went onto the golden tan catchall tray – the one place where an event day's pockets finally land.

And finally, the journals. A show floor in plan view; one dotted path wanders the aisles and stops at a star, where the good conversation happened. NOTES FROM THE FLOOR runs across the top, and the journal is where those notes get written before the next session starts.

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.
