EDGE DESIGN CONSULTING
What’s your angle?

Full narrative available at:

#logo #graphicdesign #architecture #consulting

© 2025 Force Ten Design.
This particular concept was developed for an architectural consultancy specializing in activities tied to architectural design, construction, products, specifications documentation, and consulting. Given the intended audience (i.e., architects), a conservative yet contemporary look was requested. The client also wanted an identity that would complement a domain they had registered (“EdgeDC”). To these ends, the word “EDGE” was created using bold, neo-industrial custom glyphs reminiscent of large industrial signage often seen atop factories in the early- to-mid-1900s. The text also features a transition between the “E” and “D” to create the impression of a negative-space slash, edge, and/or angled roof for an added sense of precision. An additional intention here was to feature the “E” as a function or variable and have the entire logo appear as a stylized mathematical quotient by extension. The minor wordmark (“design consulting”) appears in a finer, more distended font to both set it apart from its parent and allow the whole concept to breathe by of a less heavy/dense appearance. Finally, the “D” and “C” appear in the same blue to constitute/express an allegory of emphasis for the chosen domain name.
