RENDERKULT

10. July 2025

Brand identity created for a Discord server focused on digital artists, designers, and 3D creators. Includes a custom logo, animated and a banner for community presentation.

Overview

The project was created for a planned Discord community server called RENDERKULT. The server’s purpose is to bring together artists and designers from various digital fields 3D, motion design, illustration, visual effects, and more to exchange knowledge, share work, and help each other grow.

Logo Design

The logo was developed across multiple tools to achieve a polished blend of geometric precision and stylized ornamentation. The process began in Illustrator, where the base shapes and overall symbol structure were created. From there, the design moved into Cinema 4D for 3D modeling, proportion refinement, lighting, and the initial chrome material setup. To further enhance the form, ZBrush was used to smooth transitions, sculpt subtle curvature details, and sharpen key edges. Finally, Photoshop was used to adjust textures, shape the contrast, and apply the finishing touches. The result is a sharp, metallic emblem with a ritual-like presence a fusion of technology, art, and mystique that perfectly reflects the identity of RENDERKULT.

Animated Banner

To extend the RENDERKULT identity into motion, a looping animated banner was created. The animation highlights the chrome emblem through scanning-style light streaks, glowing edges, and subtle rotation giving the logo a ritual-like, almost broadcast-signal aesthetic. It serves as a dynamic header for the Discord community, reinforcing the dark, stylized visual language of the brand.
