Techno Complex

Logo for my art & design studio.

I define ATOMICvibe as the "a-HA!" moment of clarity in the creative process. Like nuclear fusion, it's when tiny ideas coalesce, and then explode into beautiful design.

The logo visually depicts this creative reaction. Forming abstract A & V shapes, the converging hands cradle the tiny beginnings of a big idea, fusing them until they discharge a shockwave of creativity. The custom type, designed to perfectly integrate with the mark, is meant to symbolize electron paths. Heavily inspired by retro imagery from the Atomic Age: science, the Space Race, Sputnik, the iconic George Nelson Ball Clock.
