Workshop 002 – Logos

Still in the topic of branding ourselves, the focus of this workshop was to create a logo using our initials.
Had a go at drawing a few ideas out first but I always find I get further by actually playing with the physical letters and moving the shapes around until I find something to work with.
At first I thought ‘G and M? What a rubbish set of initials’ until I discovered circles. I really fell for the idea of simplifying the letter shapes, turning them both into circles with a stick to differentiate between the G and the M. Circles have connotations wholeness, protectiveness and honesty, which I think is perfect for representing this company and everything that they stand for.


Playing about with so many different ways of linking the G and the M, I decided I wanted the G to be thicker than the M, and for them to be the same size.
