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.
