I recently had the opportunity to participate in a logo pitch for an upcoming musical based upon the 2001 film Moulin Rouge. I can't help associating this famous Parisienne nightclub with the 1970s disco hit by LaBelle hence the title of this post. Sadly it only went as far as color sketches but, I do love an assignment when my research only requires me to watch a cool movie.


Rough sketches to explore a variety of motifs related to the genre and period.

Tight sketches from selected roughs ready for a liberal application of color.


Attributing motion and activity to a static image.

Always useful to provide a range of options.

I love the neg/pos aspect of this one.
