A musical band’s identity lives in its ability to transform attitude into a recognisable visual world.
For Koloclyphis, STAMP Agency developed a complete visual universe designed to support the band’s musical evolution across artwork, packaging, merchandise and creative direction.
The objective was to define a cohesive visual language aligned with the punk rock essence of Koloclyphis whilst preserving a spontaneous, irreverent and deliberately underground aesthetic, distant from the more predictable visual codes associated with the genre.
Every visual element of the brand image is designed to strengthen the band’s recognisability through a distinctive visual language instantly associated with Koloclyphis.
For Half-Assed Pop-Punk, the third album by Koloclyphis, STAMP Agency developed a visual identity built upon an instinctive, irregular and deliberately underground aesthetic.
The creative direction takes shape through sketch-like illustrations, references to underground pop culture, absurd humour and hidden details reinforcing the connection with the band’s visual universe.
At the same time, the logo was redesigned to accompany the musical evolution of Koloclyphis, introducing a more mature and recognisable visual language

With Oktobeer, the band’s fourth release, the visual language evolved into an even more surreal and provocative narrative direction.
The concept originated from an ironic reinterpretation of Oktoberfest through the wordplay between “octopus” and “beer”, leading to the creation of Malley, an anthropomorphic octopus designed as the central figure of the EP’s entire visual ecosystem.
The graphic identity maintains a raw and instinctive aesthetic, strategically developed to preserve continuity across artwork, packaging, coloured vinyl editions and dedicated merchandise.
The work developed for Koloclyphis enabled the creation of a cohesive and instantly recognisable visual identity across every musical release of the band.
Artwork, packaging, merchandise and creative direction were integrated into a unified aesthetic language capable of maintaining narrative continuity between albums, physical formats and brand image.
