The mark therefore includes a peculiar treatment of shapes to create a silhouette of a house in the negative space between M and 1. The reference is fairly subtle and doesn't interfere with the firm, precise look aimed at construction estimators, architects and building supervisors.")

However the previously used logo was rather generic and out of touch with bold and sleek logos of industry leaders such as Kohler, Grohe, Toto, etc.
Having decided to move the company into direction of more upscale products, the current owners required something that would reflect the new consumer-facing vision but also remain trustworthy to people within the industry - plumbers.
The result is modern, premium but also industrial, with a peculiar treatment of type that helps retain a conservative edge despite contemporary look. It balances the robust and sophisticated at the same time.")

Both letters share the exact same foundation - except obviously for rotation and an extra vertical on B - in order to appear highly uniform and consistent.
The accent color container for the initials is very important here as it solidifies the logo against anything around it (crucial when used in isolation as well) and provides a much sharper contrast as well. Curvature on top and the bottom soften the rigidity and imply the modern architectural touch.
The logo is flexible enough to work in a variety of layouts and color arrangements, including pure black and white.")

Apart from data logs and charts represented by arrangement of circular elements, the central motif is also an abstraction of human profile, hinting at the AI approach to understanding unstructured log data.")

Hence I was approached to produce a unique, modern and precisely tailored wordmark from scratch.
The central M letter was intentionally shaped to emphasize diagonals as an abstraction of recognizable architectural elements.
Triangle carrying orange accent is not there to merely fill the gap, but to add to the symbolism in two distinct ways: a) together with the left half of the M it creates a stencil-like arrow directing top right, and b) the entire mark appears as an outline of an urban planning blueprint.")

The strong, firm monogram with accented diagonals hints at familiar housing forms but in a subtle manner appropriate for the upscale market. The strong appearance of mark is balanced by delicate sans serif typography.")

On an intuitive level, it invites images of pixelized burst, expanding bits of data/code/content - it's exciting, dynamic and calls for attention and unique interpretations. Intentionally, the overall shape is also reminiscent of iris.")

The mark carries a sense of calm and harmony, while the specific orange hue is quite gentle, perhaps mostly reminding of a mild dawning Sun. Conveniently, the path curve is also S shaped.")

The wordmark has been produced literally from scratch not only for the sake of uniqueness, but also to infuse it with the precise qualities required. Therefore each and every letter has been sculpted from ground up to reinforce the rugged, bold but also dynamic style that corresponds to industries served as well as reliability and speed of service.")

Based on a recognizable hexagonal nut fastener shape, with a spark cutting through it diagonally to instill movement and power into otherwise firm and rigid form. This balance is key to this mark, which aims to cover both the mechanical and electrical aspects of industrial equipment in an easily recognizable form.
The colors are typically industrial and rather masculine, creating a powerful contrast without compromising the cohesion of the logo.")

The interlocked elements form an abstract mark that suggests an integrated, complete and dynamic experience in learning. Perfect geometry appeals to tech students while the overall style inevitably inspires thoughts of finance, insurance, investment, etc.")
