Geometric mark studio

Design from Geometry.

Construct logos the way designers actually build them — overlapping circles, concentric rings, compass squares. Paint the regions. Fade the grid.

From the grid

Simple, then overlap.

  • VesicaSimple

    The lens between two circles.

  • WeaveOverlap

    Two halos, tight overlap.

  • CompassSimple

    Two squares. The overlap is an octagon.

  • TriadOverlap

    Three lenses on an equilateral.

  • SeedOverlap

    Six petals from seven circles.

  • TwinOverlap

    Two nests, vesica offset.

Method

Three moves.

  1. 01

    Choose a grid

    Start with two circles, or stack a halo on a square.

  2. 02

    Fill the pieces

    Paint the lenses, petals, and crescents. Leave the rest as paper.

  3. 03

    Fade to the mark

    Drop the construction lines. What remains is the glyph.

Free, because a mark starts on paper.

Register, open the studio, and work. Combine constructions, paint regions, fade the grid.
