Dearest Britta

Wishing you a happy 34th birthday, a lovely farewell, and a beautiful time in Brazil!

In celebration of these combined events, instead of just consuming and buying stuff, I wanted to do the opposite and create something for you, which I believe you’d also appreciate more – less consumerism and capitalism, right?

The question was, what would be meaningful yet also practical for you. Then I remembered, how awesome I find the “gd” aspect of your name and that you’re also in the process of establishing yourself as a self-employed power woman! So why not try to create a branded logo of your name as part of your new professional identity?! I have some of the skills, so let’s give it a shot!

After experimenting with different fonts, shapes, and options, I came up with the following. The whole animated logo thing is like, so in these days! I hope you like it and if not, I hope it at least gives you inspiration of what could be done with your name 🙂 The logo is based on the “Avenir” sans seriff font.

This is just a rough initial concept but you’re more than welcome to use it wherever you want – I also don’t need to be sourced or referenced as this is purely a gift from me to you. If you want some tweaks, let me know and I’ll see what I can pump out for you!

The following three logos are explorations and variations of the “bgd” logo in static form:

And the following three are the same explorations but only with “gd” logo, which I find has a bit of that Himalayan feel, in case you also feel the same way.

They’re all downloadable and ready to use if you already want. I also felt the dark forest green suits your personality and style. If you don’t like them, I’m not offended and you definitely do not need to use them. At the very least, I hope it inspires you to play around with your name and brand! 😎

With love from Chris ❤️ xxx
