Piccadilly Records is one of the world's leading record shops. I designed their iconic logo in 2013, since when it has become one of the most recognisable symbols of Manchester.

Featuring a stylised representation of the city skyline that also resembles a stack of records and CD’s, the design has been used on a variety of merchandise items including t-shirts, caps, slipmats, tote-bags and DJ record bags. The graphic also features in the shop window, in extended form with various other Manchester landmarks.

As with any company that sells lots of merchandise, the main logo is not the only graphic that appears on their products and I have also designed several T-shirts for the shop featuring entirely new designs.
