Logo Design

Vanguard Genetics’ existing logo featured a curly script font, drop shadows, and a white stroke with a shadow. While some elements aligned with the brand, they needed refinement to better represent a professional image.

We refined the script font to a more professional design with fewer curls. With the main typography updated, we introduced an icon to expand the brand's dynamic range. Given the small size of many cannabis products, a standalone icon is more recognizable than a full logotype with taglines.

Incorporating a DNA strand from the original design, symbolizing genetics, we created a strong, unique logomark for Vanguard Genetics.
