Process

Byron came prepared with a few sketches he had in mind. The initial pathway of the design process was an obvious route: make the ‘M’ in Munro fit into the shape of a mountain peak. What came to fruition felt generic, boring, and didn’t encapsulate the company’s strength in a way that spelled ‘modern, west coast, and approachable.’

I studied various steel structures and landed on the use of geometry within the discipline. The analysis rooted me back into my number one principle as a designer: keep it simple. So, I incorporated the ‘M’ into a basic frame instead. 100% black suddenly felt too commercial, so I knocked it back to 95%… funny what a 5% colour variance can do!
