For this design, I started with 3 different style letters: a round slab serif, hand-drawn and a more geometric sans serif. I used a thin monoline weight to give it a more modern feel while still keeping a classic layout of the words. I also gave the while stacked design a slight rise to add interest. The brand will work as the mono-weight wordmark alone, but I also added a variety of other graphic styles to be used as more elaborate brand elements when needed. First I started with the requested 90s color scheme. Next, I joined the words together by extending and transforming them, which not only alluded to the feeling of the word "universe" but also mimicked 90s graphic elements. When I added some speckling to the transformed shadow, it united the theme, by creating a sort of starry night. I continued linking these two themes together by adding some rough simple shapes as background elements with the same speckled effect.
