Presentation kit
Finalize and present this logo
Primary lockup description
An abstract geometric mark is paired with an elegant, modern serif wordmark and a sans-serif subtitle. The mark appears within a rounded square with soft shadows.
Wordmark description
'MERIDIAN' is set in a refined serif font, communicating professionalism, with 'DENTAL STUDIO' below in a calm sans-serif for contrast.
Logomark description
The logomark consists of geometric shapes arranged to resemble two human figures, but creates a strong unintended sexual interpretation.
Color palette description
Uses a gentle pinkish-orange (#FF7B6C-Salmon) for the mark and subtitle, and neutral off-white (#FED7C3-Champagne Pink) as background, aiming for a calming but fresh dental feel.
Positioning statement
Modern, professional dental studios require visual marks that inspire trust and clarity—never confusion or discomfort.
Design rationale
Original aim may have been to create an abstract, human-centric dental symbol.
Elegant serif wordmark choice conveys quality and trust.
