Variable Logo – Part 3

Building on the ideas explored in Variable Logo 1 and Variable Logo 2 this variable logo takes a set of rules as it’s starting point. These rules focus the design and allow new versions to be produced by others.

  1. You must create 3 closed shapes
  2. Each shape must be a different colour
  3. They must have 9, 7 and 5 points respectively
  4. Each shape must completely surround the “M”, “p” and “a” respectively
