Custom bookmark design and branding for Back of Beyond Books in Moab, Utah.

Back of Beyond Books

  • Project Details

    Writing a new chapter for a Moab Main Street favorite.

    Under new ownership, Back of Beyond Books, a staple of the Moab, Utah community, looked to modernize its digital presence and expand its reach. The goal was to refresh their well-known local brand in a way that honored its storied history while looking toward a digital-first future.

    We drew inspiration from the storefront’s iconic sign, a slot canyon in the shape of a book, as the foundation for the updated visual identity. We introduced a modern brand typography system and a color palette inspired by the desert southwest, centering the design on kinetic typography to bring the brand to life. This evolution extended to a new e-commerce website design, ensuring that this Main Street favorite could share its love of literature and the desert with the world.
