"Ombra" is a series of mystery novels that gathers the most famous murderers and detectives, giving the audience the opportunity to read the stories that have left their mark. The project includes the internal layout of the entire book, covers, and visual identity of the editorial series, all carefully curated.
The graphic symbol of "Ombra" aims to evoke the most characteristic qualities of mystery novels: hidden clues, multiple possibilities, and the different aspects of the story. The emblem is a pictogram based on a gestaltic game, hiding various meanings. By overlapping different shapes, ambiguity between figure and background is created, leaving interpretations open. Symmetrical, regular, and simple construction arises from established alignments on a basic grid.
