Matthew Halsall's brother, Daniel Halsall, is a designer, illustrator and photographer, and has been employed at Gondwana Records since 2008. Daniel has been the creative energy and visual driving force behind many of the notable releases.^[1] The Gondwana Records logo was designed by Ian Anderson at TDR (The Designers Republic)
