Lines that hold meaning

Lately I have been thinking about symbols and why we return to them. This website has a name, and now it is beginning to want a mark of its own. I keep sketching ideas for a logo, letting a G and an E find their way toward each other on the page.

It is a slow process. I am not looking for anything flashy or ornamental. I want something simple enough to last. Something that feels like us without explaining us. Two letters, distinct, but no longer separate. The kind of design that only makes sense once you stop trying to decorate it.

I like the idea that a mark can quietly carry meaning. That it can sit with you over time and become more than what it was at the beginning. Some things are worth choosing carefully, even if no one else ever notices the difference.

This feels like one of those things.
