Kamon by Craig Anczelowitz

Designer Craig Anczelowitz just informed us that Kamon, his new series for Awagami, has been released. Kamon is the word for family crest in Japan. Kamon are typically stylized plants or animals that are contained within a circle. It’s also interesting to note, from a design perspective, that Kamon are all monotone. In fact, historically color holds little, if any, significance. Anyway, it’s a neat subject and it’s nice to see it revitalized in such a refined form.
