Brand helps visionary founders and product teams bring cutting-edge, consumer-facing IoT products to market—fast—by fusing technical rigor with human-centered design and rapid, real-world iteration. The logo communicates how the idea is translated to finished prototype that can be tested and reiterated.
I’m currently working on a branding project for Massage & Mocktails — a concept built around couples learning massage together in a relaxed, social atmosphere.
These are two early, black & white directions from Stage 2 of my branding process, before moving into color, typography, and the full visual system.
The interesting part?
My client chose Concept 1. I chose Concept 2.
Now I’m curious what other creatives think.
Which direction would you choose — 1 or 2? And why?
Sometimes the most interesting part of branding is seeing how differently a client and a designer respond to the same brief.
Concept 2 for me. That interlocking figure mark reads as two people meeting, which is the actual brief here, so it gives you more to build a system on. Concept 1 is the safer, more literal pick, which is usually why clients reach for it.
Marigold is a one day concept for envato's human by design challenge. i set the direction in real photography first then generated against that standard.
