Ocean Floor Music is a music platform for artists and fans, from a digital marketplace to live shows in the metaverse. We gave it one bold identity, a family of sub-brands and a campaign that feels like a night out.


The challenge
Ocean Floor Music set out to give musicians new ways to create, earn and reach fans: a marketplace for digital collectables, an app for making music together in real time, and live shows in the metaverse. With that many parts and investors to win over, it needed one brand that held it all together.
What we did
We built the identity around a single tall O and the line create. connect. thrive. The O carries every platform, from Marketplace to Metaverse, and a portrait series of musicians, blurred with movement and washed in the brand colours, gives it the energy of a live show.

One O
A single tall, rounded O carries the brand, drawn in an electric blue to aqua gradient. Deep purple, blue, violet and aqua make the base palette, with pink, orange and yellow as accents. Manuka Black gives headlines a tall, condensed punch, and Founders Grotesk keeps the body text clean and easy to read.







One O, every platform
Each part of the platform takes the O with its own name beside it: Marketplace, Borderless, Metaverse, Crowd, Fanwall and Keys. The same system ran through the website, investor presentations and social, with bold numbers and simple charts in the brand colours.









Website animation
We storyboarded the website’s opening animation: a wave of particles that pulses with music, then folds into a ribbon of light and settles into the O beside create. connect. thrive.






Campaign artwork
A portrait series of musicians, from a DJ and a drummer to a bassist and a saxophonist, each blurred with movement and washed in one of the brand colours. The white O sits in the corner of every one, so the campaign reads as one family across posters, screens and social.






Launch
At launch the brand ran across the platforms themselves: the Marketplace on desktop and phone, the Borderless app for making music together in real time, and a Metaverse stage linking Perth and London. Event passes and the $OFM coin carried the same O.
The result
Ocean Floor Music launched with a brand as bold as the music it was built for. One O and one palette carried every platform, event pass and pitch, and the Marketplace went live at NFT Fest Australia on 22 November 2022 with OSHI Gallery.
One O for every stage, from the marketplace to the metaverse.
