Design Vintage Logo for NexaCore

I’m re-imagining the NexaCore brand and want a logo that feels like it could have been stamped on the side of a mainframe in the 1950s yet still carries the confidence of a leading tech giant today. The brief is straightforward:

• Overall mood: decidedly vintage. Think timeless craftsmanship rather than trendy nostalgia.
• Core element: classic typography is the hero; iconography is optional and should never overpower the wordmark.
• Palette: strict monochrome—black, white, and the greys between. No colour accents. Subtle texture or aging is welcome as long as the mark reproduces cleanly.

Deliverables I’ll need:
– Master vector artwork (AI and SVG)
– High-resolution PNGs on transparent and solid backgrounds
– Inverted/light version for dark surfaces
– A simple one-page guide covering type specs, spacing, and usage rules

Acceptance checklist: the mark must remain crisp at favicon size, print flawlessly at poster size, and be 100 % original with full rights transferred upon delivery.

Adobe Illustrator or an equivalent vector tool is perfect; please keep layered files tidy so future updates are painless. I’m happy to answer questions and share reference samples once we get started. Looking forward to seeing your take on a NexaCore classic.
