Optical illusion. Do you see two cubes? Of course you are. Perfect brand for architecture or design studio. For sale!
Wert Cycling is a company that manufactures innovative, top of the line bicycle parts for exclusive clients. The vision for this company is to expand by manufacturing lifestyle products such as watches, and other bicycle accessorize.
The name Wert means worth in German.
The logo has two elements:
– The name is written in a manner that reflects the accuracy, speed and frame of a bicycle, with the W showing strength, as it is standing tall on its own holding the rest of the logo intact.
– The symbol of the W above WERT is more of a reference to the lifestyle side of the company. It is an imprint of the original W, where the viewer is to substitute it in, in order to see it.
This logo is for a completely fictitious architecture studio called Lucid Form Architecture.
The icon is based on an optical illusion of a cube within a cube. Primarily, the form depicts a big cube, made of wood walls and metal-plated top surfaces, with a notch cut out of the center, resulting in a 3-D "L" shape. However, the longer one looks at this, perception begins to shift, resulting in a couple of different interpretations: 1) a small cube with a wooden wall and metal-plated bottom, in the corner of a room, hovering near the top of a tiled ceiling; 2) a room, tilted 90° clockwise, with hardwood floors, tiled walls, and a cube with a wood countertop and metal-plated side on the floor in the corner. This perception shift is important to the name, because it presents an ironic twist. To make "lucid" means to make clear, and while the icon seems to initially baffle and confuse, it ultimately encourages the viewer to challenge his or her preconceived notions of "perception." So too is the Lucid Form methodology for creating seeming impossible structures.
