Working on art direction for my design system 'Ascendance' that will be for Webflow and Figma.
I can't decide whether to use five letters or six for the logo.
My design system's purpose is to have superior control over the look and feel when designing a website, so I want the logo to be a simple typeface that communicates dominance and sophistication.
Which one do you all think?
Tools used: Photoshop + Figma
Every letter of the wordmark was uniquely drawn in Adobe Illustrator as a guilloche pattern tile. I then built everything into custom Figma plugins that generate the result, so tash.cards can form unique words for its own communication.
This is striking Nikas! 👏 The layered guilloche lines in pink and blue against the black background look so precise. I like that you build figma plugins so the wordmark can create new words, since it makes the brand flexible and unique. Great work on tash.cards!
For Appy, a London product studio for impact-driven startups, the wordmark, icons, 3D smile and Appy Pixel, its custom typeface, all come from the same grid.
Appy Pixel won Typography at the Online Design Awards.
