1) Brandclay
The brandclay logo is an example of an elegantly distilled concept, complemented by a well thought out execution. While the hands imbue a sense of craft and personal connection to the brand, the earthy tone lends a feeling of grounded stability. Clean modern typography accompanies the mark, and results in a solid package through and through.

2) Tree Beauty
A beautiful example of balanced color and form. The idea of reducing the tree down it's parts and reconstructing it has resulted in unique and noteworthy mark, which in my opinion is particularly well suited for the brand.

3) Arnaut Vitor
A striking logotype with intriguing twists on the letterforms throughout. The reflection of the A & V on the last and first names play well together, and seem to echo a sense of balance seen in the photographers work that it represents.
