Our Logo Explained
The logo image plays on the idea of structure, being perfectly segmented into ‘building blocks’, fitting themselves together with the grid pattern, which suggests both an urban structure and a rural prairie section. Upon study, one could also note an uppercase “L” (Landmark), a street corner, or an arrow – the latter being a directional mark for wayfinding, an indicator on a map, or a sense of direction and the beginning of a process. The colour (PMS 5615) is green/grey, meant to connote the collaboration between urbanism and landscape, while the typeface (DIN Mittleschrift) has a modern classic look, making it at once current and timeless.
