Context

Kapone is a street art supply store founded by TNT, a graffiti artist from El Salvador, to empower urban creatives and celebrate the culture of street art. Its branding reflects the raw energy and authenticity of the graffiti scene, brought to life by a collective of artists and designers.

The raw energy of the graffiti scene, made into a brand.

02 — From the wall

The identity comes out of the culture it serves: graffiti, painted on site.
