I never had my own logo, that piece of graphics, or stylized text that people recognize you by.
Finally, after 20 years of work in several creative industry sectors, I decided to develop a graphic solution for myself. I hope you like this logo design.

How I started?

I only had these starting data:
– My initials D and P
– An idea to somehow include a play button because my main activity is a video creation

A grid

I started by creating this grid because the base is the triangle ► which can be the play button.

D and P

Fortunately, the letter “D” looks like a triangle if its right line is not a circular arc. The upper part of the letter “P”, also without a circular arc, looks like a triangle. Yay!

Next step: triangle hole

The final touch

And finally, a little line that forms the “P” letter.

Final version

The final version of the shape and the version with two color gradient.

Color/text/size variations

Some mockups

If you want to try a grid-based logo design, let me know in the comment, or send me a message from the contact page, and I will send you an illustrator file with the grid to play with and if you need short instruction on how to do it.
