This is my own personal branded logo. It may not look like much but its actually a manipulated translation of my given name.

My name at birth is Adam, sometime in my teen years I changed the spelling to Adm (long story, and hence my ID *admish). After spending some time in South Korea, (some say long enough to come home with two girls, my wife and daughter) I learned how to spell my name in Korean. Also having a permanent connection with the culture I decided to take that spelling and manipulate it into a way to create my own logo.

My name written in Korean looks like this:

This is actually 5 letters, . The first letter is silent, the rest semi-translate to A-d-a-m.

I took these 5 Korean letters that make up my name, and formatted them so they are relative in size and are clean cut and uniform, and then stacked them on top of each other. This was the end result.



This logo had the uniqueness that I wanted, but was still not quite there. I also wanted it to be as universal as possible which is when I had the idea that it had to be cut into a stencil as well. This broke up the logo just right to give it both the proper amount of black and white contrast and still be unique.

The final logo gives me the ability to emboss/engrave, stencil, re-manipulate, colorize, and just about anything else I can think of. I couldn't be happier with it and the fact that it is based upon my name makes it even better.
