ASCAP is the leading performance-rights organization in America, serving over 950,000 members. In 2016, ASCAP underwent a logo redesign to attempt to modernize their identity, but the logo that was introduced lacked intentionality. While working in-house as a Product Designer, I proposed refinements to the logo to bring a rationale to it's construction, making it easier to work with in layouts and within a brand architecture.
