Logo

Bold & simple logomark

The goal was to create a bold, simple logomark that directly reflected the company’s core focus: modular block construction. 
The resulting logomark is a sharp, geometric composition with a strong brutalist style due to its simplicity and rigid structure. It also incorporates a clever use of negative space that creates a visual illusion of stacked blocks in perspective.

Digital
