Logo design and ident animation by GRAPHIC HAVOC for NYC-based film production company MARY OF EXETER which of note, co-produced Atropia — directed by Hailey Gates with cast including Alia Shawkat, Callum Turner, & Chloe Seviny — that premiered at the 2025 Sundance Film Festival and was awarded the U.S. Grand Jury Prize for dramatic features.
MARY OF EXETER was named in jest after the famous heroic female carrier pigeon who flew many military missions with the National Pigeon Service during World War II, transporting important messages across the English Channel back to her loft in Exeter, England.
Mary was awarded the Dickin Medal in 1945 for showing endurance on war service despite being injured on three occasions and emerging uninjured when her loft was bombed — so obviously she needed to be adorned with a laurel wreath in the logo, symbolizing heroism and triumph.
