Mark, geometric construction, rules of use

01 Il contesto

The studio’s mark was our first project. It had to answer to the same conditions we ask of a client’s mark: legible at small sizes, reproducible in a single colour, and defined by rules rather than by one file.

The monogram light on a dark ground and dark on paper, side by side

02 Il progetto

An A and a D that share the vertical stem. The construction is geometric: centre, radii, stem weight and the angle of the diagonal are stated measurements, not proportions found by eye. The same construction drawing is the one the site redraws in the “about us” section.

03 L’esito

The mark reads at a centimetre on a business card and at two metres on a sign. And it is defined by measurements, so anyone can rebuild it identically even without the original file.

The two business cards: the light front with the monogram, the dark back with the contact details
