At JMT & Silva, we specialize in bringing existing designs to life with our artistic skills. Our project for Dragos, a cybersecurity company, was a perfect example of this. Dragos wanted their logo to be prominently displayed in an artistic manner on the first wall people see after leaving the elevator in their Melbourne office. The design concept, created by another artist, featured a distinctive watchful dragon logo against a black and gray background. Our task was to faithfully replicate and enhance this design in their Melbourne office, making a strong impression on visitors and reflecting Dragos’ identity through art.
The Concept: An Artistic Logo with a Street-Like Edge
Dragos, known for their expertise in cybersecurity, envisioned their logo displayed in a striking manner that immediately communicates their brand identity. The logo, featuring a watchful dragon shape set against a black and gray background, was already a prominent feature in their U.S. offices. The challenge for us was to accurately replicate this design on a large wall in their Melbourne office, ensuring it matched the original while adding a dynamic touch to the space.
The Design: Creating a Brick Effect
The project took two to three days to complete. To achieve the desired look, we started by creating a background that resembled bricks. The actual wall was a flat surface, but Dragos wanted a rough, street-like appearance. Using our skills in creating textured effects, we painted a faux brick background that added depth and a rugged charm to the space. This effect set the stage for the main feature: the Dragos logo.
The Logo: A Watchful Dragon
On top of the brick background, we meticulously painted the Dragos logo. The design, featuring a vigilant dragon, symbolizes strength and protection—key qualities in cybersecurity. The black and gray tones of the logo contrasted sharply with the brick effect, creating a visually arresting mural that commands attention as soon as one exits the elevator. Our goal was to faithfully replicate the original design while ensuring it harmonized with the newly created background.
The Experience: Smooth Execution in the Heart of Melbourne
Located in one of the business office centers in Melbourne’s CBD, the project was a delightful experience. The Dragos team was incredibly supportive and clear about their vision, making our job easier and more enjoyable. The central location also meant that we were able to showcase our work to a broader audience, adding to the excitement of the project.
Conclusion
The mural we created for Dragos is a testament to our ability to bring existing designs to life with precision and artistry. The result is a visually striking piece that not only enhances the aesthetic appeal of their office but also reinforces their brand identity. The feedback from Dragos was overwhelmingly positive, and we are proud to have contributed to their Melbourne office’s visual impact.
