The brand that is represented by this logo was created to be a representation of my personality and to reflect the value that I offer as a designer. The name, “Marhin”, means “of the sea” in Gaelic; it is a unique name that has had a large impact on who I have become. My logo takes the form of my name. The “M” is drawn in an abstracted manner, taking inspiration from the way that I sign my name, the waves of the sea, and the scribble of a pen. The strokes are elegantly drawn with an intentional variation in the thickness of the line. The typeface utilized is P22 Mackinac Pro Book, a typeface inspired by the history and timelessness of Mackinac Island. The humanist old-style typeface conveys my appreciation of classical influence on contemporary design. The logo reflects the bold, high-contrast black-and-white color scheme that aligns with the values of the Marhin brand; black symbolizes elegance, strength, and confidence, and white symbolizes purity, goodness, and creativity. My logo is meant to be elegant, bold, and intentionally crafted to reflect my attitude toward design while maintaining the creative fluidity of the ocean and the invitation of approachable design. My logo represents a high-quality, intentional brand that provides high-quality, intentional designs.
