Plague Press
Matt Stuart

A little street urchin for street photgrapher Matt Stuart.

Sometimes the smallest projects lead to the biggest stories. Plague Press began as just that — a bold new publishing venture from award-winning street photographer and Magnum Photos nominee Matt Stuart, created to champion street culture and the arts from around the world.

Matt approached Neon Brand Consultancy with the name and a clear vision: to develop a brand identity that captured his anti-establishment spirit and raw, observational energy.

Our answer? A little street urchin.

A mischievous, characterful mark — part emblem, part attitude — designed to sit provocatively among the polished logos of the art publishing elite. It’s a perfect reflection of Matt’s photography: sharp, subversive and full of humanity.

The new Plague Press identity makes its debut on the imprint’s first publication, All That Life Can Afford, a definitive collection of Matt’s work both old and new, and will roll out across future titles and the forthcoming Plague Press website.

Kind words…

“I f*cking love my rat! Genius.“
