Whether a personal for a brand, identity sets the first impression and tone for clients and visitors. Carter’s identity was designed to reflect a professional yet informal quality, with an emphasis on simplicity and universal usage.

Mac software developer Carter Allen was looking for a new, simple way to brand himself web-wide. He desired a unique symbol which would work at both small and large sizes, in a variety of contexts. I began by playing with the lettering to see what unique ways the C and A could be presented. I also asked Mr. Allen what aspects of his personality he’d like reflected. He noted that he frequently wears a particular style of hat. I combined the two ideas, and presented him with a simple, elegant hat that subtly conveys his initials.
