Modern Icon-Text Logo

I’m launching a new brand and I’m looking for a fresh logo that pairs clean typography with a simple, memorable icon. The overall feel must be modern and minimalist, yet it should pop through a bold and vibrant colour palette.

Here’s what I’d like to see from each entry:
• A combination mark: the icon and the brand name should be able to sit side-by-side as well as stack vertically.
• Bold, energetic colours that still read well at small sizes—think striking rather than neon overload.
• A design that stays crisp in monochrome, for times when colour printing isn’t possible.
• Final files delivered as layered vector (AI or SVG), plus high-resolution PNG and JPEG.

Optional but appreciated:
• A quick mock-up on a dark and a light background to show versatility.
• A square version or favicon derived from the icon portion.

I’ll give fast feedback during the contest so you can refine your concept quickly. Looking forward to choosing a standout design!
