When reviewing abstract logos, I examine symbolism, typography, scalability, and brand fit.
Cubby Studio’s design for Acorn Consulting checks all the right boxes.
- Concept: The abstract emblem references classical forms that evoke tradition, law, and stability, which are qualities essential in consulting.
- Typography: A clean sans-serif provides modern contrast, ensuring the identity feels current without losing gravitas.
- Scalability: The logo functions effectively across applications, from full lockups to the monogram version seen in initials.
- Application: The mark adapts well to different backgrounds and contexts, preserving clarity in both digital and print uses.

What Brands & Agencies Can Learn from Acorn Consulting
This abstract logo shows how to balance traditional symbolism with modern execution to create a timeless identity.
1. Evoke a Feeling
You can use an abstract symbol to communicate a mood without being completely literal. A mark that references classical architectural forms, for example, helps establish a tone of stability.
2. Balance Old and New
Pairing a traditional-style icon with a clean, modern typeface creates a balanced identity that feels timeless.
3. Create a Logo System
A modern identity needs to be flexible. You should design multiple versions of your logo to fit different spaces. For instance, have a simplified monogram for small applications like social media profiles.
