Logo Marks, Brand Marks, Type Marks, Emblems, Symbols & Icons
Whilst a logo design isn’t the entirety of a visual brand identity: a memorable logo mark can certainly help create a lasting impression in the eyes of the beholder.
The logo mark (in the example above, the logo mark is the orange P for the Pure Storage logo design) which is also called: brand mark, symbol, icon, emblem, etc, is often the first visual representation of a brand and/or company that a person sees, and for this reason alone: the logo design needs to full fill many roles.
The logo design process includes: research, conceptualisation investigation of alternative design directions and ideas, refinement of a chosen design, testing across brand touch-points, and finally adoption and production of the chosen logo design by the client.
On the outside, a logo mark that is clean and functional; conveys simplicity and depth of character, is the ultimate aim during the development and design phase of a logo design project.
However, a clean and simple looking logo mark is rarely simple in its development and design; quite often will be a complex weave of various horizontal, vertical, angular alignments and intersections, along with other design grid principles, to ensure the logo is balanced and well formed in it’s final form.

The Monomarks Collection
Naked, Raw & Monochrome
Monomarks are my Collection of Individual: Logo Marks, Brand Marks, Type Marks, Emblems, Symbols and Icons, taken from my Portfolio, Displayed in Glorious Techniblack; stripped of all Colour and Context.
I go to great lengths to ensure that each logo I design works in it’s purest form; stripped of all colour, and in most cases; all wording.
This allows the resulting black logo mark to convey the intended message in the purest way possible.

Brand & Visual Identities
Not just Logo & Icon Designs
The brand identity of a company is more than a logo design. For example, it will consist of a varied range of both physical and emotive elements; some can be seen, some touched, some smelt and many play on our emotions.
Brand identities can also include aspects of product design: applying brand logo designs to various products & equipment, such as for the Pure Storage Flash Arrays, and bottle labels for BrainExcell.
