Minimalist Icon-Text Brand Logo

My brand needs a clean, minimalist logo that pairs a crisp word-mark with a simple, memorable icon. The overall palette should stay within neutral tones—think subtle greys, soft blacks, or muted earth colours—so the mark remains versatile across print, web, and social platforms.

A balanced relationship between the text and icon is important; neither element should overpower the other. Negative space, geometric shapes, or subtle line work are welcome if they reinforce the minimalist feel without adding visual noise.

Preferred workflow involves vector-based design (Adobe Illustrator or similar) so the artwork scales flawlessly. Feel free to sketch ideas on paper first, but I’ll need the final version delivered as:

• Editable AI or SVG source file
• High-resolution PNG on transparent background
• PDF or EPS for print
• Brief style guide noting colour codes and fonts

Once I approve an initial concept, please provide up to two refinement rounds to fine-tune spacing, weight, or colour balance.
