Marlena: The Logo
There are many layers that combine to create a designer, and when I began developing a personal mark, I wanted to create a logo that would be representative of those layers. This mark serves as a reflection of my deep love for meaningful details. After all, the beauty of life is in the details.
THE M: The simple lines that create the "M" are a reflection of my passion for utilizing various materials to create something beautiful. I am at my best when I am tasked with bringing together seemingly unrelated elements in order to bring a greater idea to life—and the various shapes and paths I created with this logo show this concept.
THE SIGMA: It is no coincidence that, when you flip my logo on its side, it forms the "sigma" symbol. This symbol is important to me because it is a representation of my last name and my family. As I continue to grow as a creative, I hope I never forget my roots and the people who have made me who I am today.
THE PATH: My favorite part of this logo is that it is both a shape and a path. When I approach a project, I am constantly challenging myself to take on new perspectives to find unique and dynamic solutions. To have a logo that continuously evolves serves as a reminder for me to always try to push my work further.
