The Logo Smith designed a new logo for Excedr, a lab support program that provides scientists with operating lease solutions and comprehensive service plans at an affordable price.
[Jon Chee, the CEO of Excedr, also hired me to design a new logo for SuperblyCo, 2020]
“Our mission is to assist laboratories that seek to further scientific innovation. By providing equipment leasing and hassle free repair coverage, we aim to accelerate research and relieve laboratories of heavy financial burdens.
At the rate that science and technology move, researchers should not be slowed down by inaccessible or unaffordable research equipment.
Our leasing model stands behind this statement, promising labs financial and operational flexibility.”
Excedr Logo Mark Briefly Explained
The logomark was developed using the shape of the ‘X’, as the foundation, split vertically in half with the right side pulled back over the left forming the lower-case ‘e’ with a hint of ‘c’, which are the 3 most prominent sounding letters.

Excedr Typeface Used
After looking at a multitude of possible typefaces, I finally settled on a revised version of a classic typeface called, Avenir Next Bold.
The X-height of Avenir is exactly half the height of the excedr logo mark.
