The Solution
Unfolding the conceptional layers of Lagniappe Management’s logotype design, we firstly took advantage of the company’s initials L and M, and the way their position in space offers the symbol of a stairway - one that only goes upwards, with an unrestricted prospect for the future and infinite potentials. The logotype appears in two basic forms; horizontal and circular. While the horizontal form follows the stairway’ s course, the placement of the brand name around the logotype follows emblem design principles, transfusing prestige and boldness and enabling the logotype to work as a seal - as a promise. Featuring copper details on the burgundy color palette, corporate identity inspires a more premium character, inviting people to a vision-driven collaboration based on trust and respect.
