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, a wife and daughter) I learned how to spell my name in Korean. Now having a permanent connection with the culture I decided to take that 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. (This is about as rough of an explanation as I can get)

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 and identifiable.

The final logo gives me the ability to emboss, engrave, stencil, re-manipulate, colorize, and just about anything else I would ever need a logo to do while maintaining its true form.

I couldn't be happier with it and the fact that it is based upon both my name and Korean culture yet doesn't scream either makes it all the better. I have also shown it to several Korean friends and none of them understood it until I explained it.

I always love when someone shares more than a basic bit of info when it comes to how a piece came about. I think it tends to make the piece even more powerful.
When I first glanced at it I thought it was a stylized chaos star, but upon looking more and reading the description I guess not.
Still a wonderful piece...

This is a wonderful Icon

:)Its simple yet there is deep meaning to it.

:)It has a vary modern design to it.
yet it also reaches back to ancient times and cultures .

:)Also note it resembles a clock to
an the image also invokes the concept of expansion.

I can't find any fault with it.
