Shadow Breaks
Turning potential reality into graphic representation has never been insurmountable by a crafty pack of designers.
Fades
Watch these marks, as they seem to rise out of a deep fog to expose themselves to the public.
Rising Color
Rising color is a subtle approach to the separation of layers or depth in a logo.
Simplicity
As a continuing homage to a Spartan lifestyle and not candy-coating our words, form in logo design is wearing the simplicity moniker like a badge of honor.
Simple Overlays
Pairing the austere aesthetic of the previous category with the unencumbered clarity of simple transparency creates a message as evident as its construction.

Ellipses
Each year provides us with a glimpse at what digital symbolism has entered into the general public’s vernacular.
Yin Yang
As happens from time to time, resurgence in the popularity of a motif will resurface with a vengeance.
Pasta Bends
Virtual reality has taken off, and the race to create the best mind-blowing experience without leaving a tether is on.

Text Boxes
Personally, I think a beautiful wordmark is the epitome of clarity and functionality.
