Happy Monday! Exploring early concept marks for a regional IT brand wanting to bridge modern IT services with Appalachian heritage.
Out of 10 sketches, my circle split right down the middle on these two:
A: The Ridge Monogram holds a bold silhouette where the "E" acts as the bedrock of the mountain ridge. It became a fast favorite with non-designer friends.
B: The Topo-Circuit idea plants a dynamic mark pairing circuit traces with elevation contours that can adapt to different locations as the business expands. (My personal pick!)
From those two pieces came everything else. The patterns, the brand elements, the icons for the school app, the classroom signs and the uniform all share the same arch and the same ball.
