A Closer Look
(Text)
I don’t care what you say, working fast and loose in a sketchbook and fleshing out ideas prior to building logo forms on a
computer will always make your concepts stronger and your rendering more refined in a shorter amount of time. It’s also
a great way to visually communicate with a client before heading down a road he or she is unwilling to travel.
With attention to detail and a commitment
to sustainable practices, Pocono Modern is
building homes in the Poconos with a fresh,
modern twist.
Pocono Modern is the vision of Kraig Kalashian,
who is an incredible architect and designer,
which makes all of our collaborations very
creative. He has a great eye for design and we
tend to gravitate toward the same aesthetic,
which is fun.
In the final solution, the Pocono Mountains are
represented, but are abstracted into simple,
strong shapes. There is some interesting
positive/negative space created in the middle of
the mark by the intersection of the angles. The
wood texture evokes the organic nature of the
Poconos, and the color fields represent the
minimal, modern aspect of the brand.
Preliminary exploration sells geometric retro, post-modern idealism, coupled with timeless
typefaces. The fresh color palettes keep this mark from feeling too dated.
