This is a logo designed for Quod Architects X QED Design.

The rest of the magic of the logo design rested in the proportion, size and color of the ‘Q’ as related to the paper space of the name card and website:

For the namecard, we designed an alternative cover with nine logos arrayed in a 3×3 matrix. The result is reminiscent of the facade of a traditional Singapore shophouse with windows – a wink to the studio’s interest in the local architectural and historical context.
