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.

Custom Product Icon Set for Responsive
We originally developed the brand identity for Responsive, then extended it into a custom icon system for their platform.
The goal was to make every product touchpoint feel recognizably Responsive while keeping the icons clear, functional and scalable.

Alpik is an outdoor clothing and adventure gear brand built around freedom, exploration, and a deep connection with nature. The project focused on creating a cohesive visual identity that could communicate the brand’s adventurous spirit while supporting a healthy, sustainable, and active lifestyle.
I developed the visual identity across key brand touchpoints, including the logo, color palette, iconography, imagery style, and brand applications. The goal was to create a flexible and distinctive system that could translate consistently across both digital and physical experiences.
