From a blank canvas to a distinctive identity.
In this speedart, I explore the creation of a custom monogram built around M, combining sharp geometry with a continuous orbital element to create a symbol that feels both precise and dynamic.
The goal wasn’t just to make an M look good — it was to turn a simple letter into a memorable visual asset with its own character.
Every angle, connection and curve was intentionally designed to keep the mark minimal, recognizable and versatile.

Really like this one. Turning a simple M into something with its own character is harder than it looks, and this feels really well thought out.
Thank you so much for your kind words—I really appreciate them!
Combining sharp geometry with that orbital element is a clever way to keep an M from looking like every other monogram out there. Did the orbital idea come out of trying to solve a specific problem with the letterform, or was it more of a happy accident while sketching?
Hi, thanks for your comment—I appreciate it. The concept was developed alongside dozens of other sketches as part of an exploration for a client’s company brand. We were looking to give each concept that spatial touch, and in this case, the orbit served as that symbol within the...

Simple, refined, and very well executed.
When do you know a design actually has enough?
In university, one of my professors kept using the word "suficiencia." There isn't a clean translation for it, but the idea was strict: if a detail adds meaning to the concept, it stays. If you're adding it just because it looks nice, it goes.
I didn't think much of it at the time. Now it's the question I ask before every project ships.
What's the one thing you were taught early on that you still use on every project?
Suficiencia is such a powerful lens for design! Stripping away the fluff until every single element carries real intention is what turns a good layout into an iconic one
The mechanical dial standing in for the "2" is a clever way to make a stat feel tactile instead of just typographic. Nice restraint on the color palette too.
