Taste Test
Exploring two logo directions for AYCLIFF Paper & Post and would love some feedback from the Contra community ๐
๐น Option 1 focuses on simplicity and clarity, using a folded-paper-inspired symbol to reflect the brandโs industry in a modern way.
๐ธ Option 2 takes a bolder approach with a custom geometric mark designed to create a stronger, more memorable brand presence.
If you were the client, which direction would you choose and why? ๐

Option 1 looks great and passes the message
Thanks!
Thank you!
Going with Option 1. The folded-paper mark actually connects to the brand's industry in a way that Option 2's geometric A doesn't. Option 2 feels like it could belong to any startup.
Thank you๐
Option 2
Thank you!
You are welcome

though both are lovely, i have to say the clarity focal point of option 1 jumped out at me before i even got to glance back up to review your explanations of each. to me, it feels like a clean, more simplistic palette makes sense there, & the shade of blue you chose is SO...
Thank you very much Nicolette!
