Logo design for Syneren, a tech solutions provider for government & commercial sectors, specializing in IT services, engineering, software development, AI/ML, cybersecurity, and data analytics.
The INKFLESH mark I designed starts with an empty profile avatar. A deliberately plain shape for an identity full of strange characters.
The characters needed room to change. The identity also had to work on a woven label or an app icon, where a detailed illustrated face has very little space to do its job.
I kept the silhouette and palette constant, then let the artwork change around them. The mark can hold an illustration, appear as a solid stamp, or sit on its own at a small size. Each version still has the same shape underneath.
That was the useful constraint: decide what someone should recognise when the most expressive part of the design disappears.
If your identity depends on a detailed illustration, try its smallest application before approving the whole world around it.
My favorite part of this branding and packaging project was working with the different materials. The dark glass, aluminum, and soft paper each bring something different, so I kept the typography and labels simple to help everything sit together.
