01 / CONSTRUCTION STUDY
Geometry and negative space.
Angular edges, interlocking forms, and an open center. The guides illustrate the geometry of the selected symbol.
BRICK / ANGULAR KNOT
02 / CONSTRUCTION & USAGE
A considered system.
02 / FINAL SYMBOL
One shape. Two treatments.
A single-color mark on contrasting surfaces. Preserve its orientation, proportions, and the gaps between its forms.
03 / CLEAR SPACE
x = ¼ of the symbol width.
Keep at least x clear on every side. Measure from the visible mark, excluding transparent canvas padding.
04 / MINIMUM SIZE
Small, but still distinct.
Use a visible width of at least 24 px. Check that the central opening and angular joins remain clear at the intended display size.
Keep the center open.
CLEAR SPACE
Give it a quarter.
Leave at least one-quarter of the visible symbol’s width clear on every side. Measure from the mark, excluding transparent canvas padding.
MINIMUM SIZE
Start at 24 px.
Use a visible symbol width of at least 24 px. Keep its central opening and joins clear at the intended display size.
KEEP THE FORM
Let the shape speak.
Preserve its orientation and proportions. Avoid stretching, outlines, gradients, shadows, and separate colors on its forms.
Construction guides present a geometry study of the selected symbol.
