A line that keeps going
My path has never been a straight line, so my mark isn’t either. shuvo is one rounded, connected stroke. It starts at the s, never lifts, and ends in the loop between v and o, because the story is still unfinished.
I made it the way I learned everything else: by hand first, then refined in Adobe Illustrator, then brought into motion. I drew the concept, the letterforms and the colour system, and I directed every move. I used AI only as a tool to build quick motion tests from my own Illustrator artwork; I chose what worked and refined it.

Finding the Line
The brief start wide → test three → pick one → build a system
I drew my initials, SM, 23 ways. One mark broke my own rule: a chunky, rounded shuvo. It went with me to Round 2.

Final
Final logo
The v became round like the u, with no sharp point, and the o got its own curl, so every letter shares one curve and sits on the same x-height and baseline. The gaps between letters are even: a little wider when the logo is small, so the letters never look stuck together.
Coral #F15A23 · white
Simple. Minimal.
Memorable.
In Motion
The final animation, as it opens my homepage: the letters swing and hit like a Newton's cradle
Never still
On my website the logo rides a soft wave, and every hover does something different. On phones it plays the moves on its own. Try them:
Nine Moves
Openings + moves
Six ways the logo can arrive, then nine ways it can react, all on one board. They play in order; pick any opening or move to watch it, or hover the board to replay. On my site, every hover over the header logo picks the next move.
The guides draw in, the outline traces itself like a pen, then the coral fills in.
