Aphex Twin Logo Designer Unearths Original Sketches

Last month, Paul Nicholson, Aphex Twin’s original logo designer, unearth a clutch of construction blueprints for the iconic Aphex logo. Now, he’s shared an array of original sketches taken from his workbooks between November 1991 to October 1993, as Fact points out. “Everything presented here has never been published before and unseen since worked on with Richard,” Nicholson wrote on Instagram. Check out the sketches below.

A-SKHEX - Preliminary and Developmental Sketches for the APHEX TWIN Logo. All sketches have been taken from my workbook and span November 1991 to October 1993. I will be posting further scans, including the thought process behind the sleeve artwork to Selected Ambient Works Vol 2… Keep it locked. Everything presented here has never been published before and unseen since worked on with Richard. A continuance of the 25th Anniversary of the release of Selected Ambient Works 85-92. #Aphex #AphexTwin #AphexLogo #Sketches #Sketchbook #Drawings #SelectedAmbientWorks #R&S #Warp #WarpRecords #Logo #LogoDesign #Logotype #GraphicArt #GraphicDesign #Number3 #3 #III
