MARKS & FORMS — 2026

A curated collection of logos and marks exploring identity through form, concept, and visual precision.

MARKS & FORMS returns with its 2026 edition, continuing an ongoing exploration of logo design, visual identity, and the many ways a simple mark can communicate an idea.

This volume brings together a new selection of logos developed throughout the year, ranging from commissioned identities to independent explorations. Each mark represents a different approach to form, typography, symbolism, and reduction, while sharing a common pursuit: creating identities that are distinctive, intentional, and built to last.

Rather than following a single visual style, MARKS & FORMS celebrates the diversity of logo design. Monograms, custom lettering, abstract symbols, geometric constructions, and expressive marks coexist within the same collection, revealing how different visual languages can emerge from the same fundamental discipline.

Every logo begins with an idea. Through refinement, proportion, balance, and thoughtful reduction, that idea becomes a recognizable form. The process is not about adding more, but about discovering what is essential and giving it enough strength to stand on its own.

The 2026 edition reflects another chapter in that process — a growing archive of marks shaped by different challenges, industries, concepts, and creative directions. Together, they document an evolving approach to identity design and a continued commitment to creating work with clarity, character, and purpose.

MARKS & FORMS is an ongoing study of the relationship between form and meaning. Each edition captures a moment in that journey, preserving selected marks not simply as finished logos, but as records of experimentation, refinement, and creative growth.

Turning it into a yearly edition instead of a one-off drop is smart, it gives people a reason to come back each year. Looking across the marks in this volume, is there a theme or constraint that ties this year's batch together, or were they picked more on individual merit?

Same layout but two completely different feelings🙂‍↔️

This is a vault app. The design has one job: make it feel safe to open.

🧮 The red one is alert.

🐊 The dark one is calm.

Which one would you trust with your collection?

Red usually reads as 'something's wrong' rather than 'high value,' so my gut says the dark concept builds more trust when there's real money on screen. Have you tested this with actual users yet, or is this poll your first read on it?
