Guardians Of the Galaxy, Mission Breakout logo

I was commissioned to design custom lettering and a logotype for Guardians of the Galaxy – Mission: Breakout!, a drop tower dark ride attraction at Disney California Adventure.

The logotype was designed to match the anarchic energy and irreverent tone of the Guardians of the Galaxy universe. The wordmark combines aggressive brush strokes, fractured forms, and explosive texture to convey urgency, chaos, and motion, mirroring both the narrative of a prison escape and the physical sensation of the ride itself.

The lettering system was built to live dynamically across environments, from large scale exterior signage and key art to in-ride graphics and promotional materials. Its distressed construction allows the logotype to feel volatile and alive, as if it is breaking apart under pressure, reinforcing the idea of instability, acceleration, and imminent release.

Mission: BREAKOUT! opened on May 27, 2017, shortly after the release of Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and the lettering was designed to bridge cinematic spectacle with physical experience, transforming typography into an extension of the ride’s adrenaline and attitude.
