The Deep Emotional Meaning Behind My Logo (It Took 30 Seconds)

#design#art#gymnastics#procrastination

Welcome to the design breakdown.

When I set out to create the visual identity for Nony, I didn’t just want a logo. I wanted a feeling. I wanted a symbol that captures the duality of man and the sheer, unadulterated chaos of my brain.

You might look at this and say, ā€œNony, that looks like you drew an ā€˜N’ with your finger on a trackpad while eating chips.ā€

To that, I say: You just don’t get Art.

The ā€œDesignā€ Process

Let’s talk about the stroke width. Notice how it’s inconsistent? How the top right part is thicker than the bottom left? That is not ā€œshaky hands.ā€ That is organic minimalism.

I wanted to challenge the rigid structures of modern web design. Vectors are too perfect. SVG paths are too calculated. This logo represents raw, unfiltered humanity. It says: ā€œI have a cracked version of Photoshop, but I was too lazy to open it.ā€

The Truth (Because I’m a Lazy B*tch)

Okay, look. The reality is, I would rather rot in bed and doomscroll than spend 4 hours pushing BƩzier curves around in Illustrator.

This isn’t a logo. This is a cry for help.

It is literally just my handwriting. And not even my good handwriting. This is my ā€œI forgot to do the homework and I’m scribbling it 5 minutes before classā€ handwriting.

I tried to convince myself it was ā€œbrutalism.ā€ It’s not. It’s just ā€œI-would-rather-stare-at-the-ceiling-ism.ā€

The ā€œI Should Be Doing Something Elseā€ Guilt

My dad says I’m the reason someone needs therapy. My gymnastics coach says I need to work on my landings because I keep wobbling. My swimming instructor says I need to focus on my breathing so I don’t drown.

And what am I doing? I am writing a blog post about a squiggly black line I drew in MS Paint.

I should probably be at the pool. I should probably be practicing my back handsprings so I don’t break my neck. Instead, I am here, romanticizing my own laziness and calling it ā€œbranding.ā€

But hey, at least the logo is unique. You can’t download this font on Google Fonts. You can only get it by having zero motivation and a trembling hand from too much caffeine.
