Business logo design in Kenya

Design an original business identity within an agreed logo package.

A CONCRETE EXAMPLE · ILLUSTRATIVE

Fictional identity package LOG-41 creates an original mark for 'Mtoni Cycle Workshop', a made-up business, with two distinct sketch directions, one selected vector logo, a one-colour version and transparent PNG exports at 512 and 2,048 pixels wide. A one-page use sheet records colour values, minimum tested size and clear space chosen after inspection. Trademark clearance, business-name registration, unlimited concepts and printing are excluded. The sample direction combines a simple open wheel arc with the workshop name; it must be drawn originally, not traced from a competitor or sold as legally unique.

Who is the first customer?

Small businesses with a clear name and audience.
