An architectural emblem for a design + build firm fusing classical practices with modern tech.

MAYBE: "Firmitas, Utilitas, Venustas"

Architectural

We are a design + build firm. See our website here: https://www.buildingculture.com/#building-culture-1 I’d like to make something that’s like a builders guild mark or masons guild sigil. I’d like to convey harmony, beauty, but also strength snd ruggedness. The blending of architecture and craftsmanship. For actual symbolism, perhaps the Vitruvian Triad of Firmitas, Utilitas, Venustas (durability, utility, beauty). I am also focused on masonry, so perhaps including an abstract version of a hammer snd trowel. But I don’t want to be too literal. Our business mission: We offer a real response to the problems of mass-produced housing--solid brick homes that last centuries and nourish the human soul with beauty, authenticity and simplicity. Blending the best of old and new, we carefully design every detail, consider every selection, and continually experiment with better ways to build. We believe houses can be more than the chemically laden, machine-produced shelters churned out by the construction-industrial complex. They can be homes—places we love, care for and feel intimately connected to. They can enrich our lives and communities, and contribute to a cultural heritage worth passing down. At Building Culture, we are fighting for a New Renaissance in building and architecture—where a commitment to beauty, craftsmanship and enduring materials enriches our lives and contributes to human flourishing.

I’m interested in emblem logos, something more like a sigil, like an old guild. I imagine a more abstract but also meaningful emblem with "Building Culture" spelled out underneath, or have the acronym "BC" in the emblem. It needs to feel classic, but also modern and fresh. We could also include the Vitruvian Triad: Firmitas (durability), Utilitas (utility/usefulness), Venustas (beauty). Those are the 3 elements of architecture from Vitruvius, a Roman architect, that I always incorporate into my designs and builds.

Every design category has flexible pricing for all budgets. Logo design starts at $299.
