Matrix is a digital marketing agency. The answer to its brief was a wordmark built from angular strokes, with the I swapped for a carved tribal-mask totem that can also stand alone as the icon.

It reached the final round of the 99designs contest in September 2020, and it is one of the logos I still show on aldaci.com.

The logo

Angular strokes for the M, the A and the X; a carved mask for the I. In a pink-to-blue gradient and in grey.
