Cirque Us is a Boston-based contemporary American circus company. They produces original full-length circus productions with a mission to spread circus magic through both a performative and educational lens. This logo was commissioned for a new show concept, "Cirque Us Stories", which was themed around libraries and bed-time stories. The client suggested a general color palette, but mentioned that it would be fun if there were "easter eggs" hinting at the company's past shows hidden inside the graphic. This logo was inspired by bookmarks, bookshelves, and children's playroom toys. The final visual features a lamp, string lights, and a stuffed bear to reference Cirque Us' past shows "One Man's Trash", "Starstruck", and "RagTag", respectively.
