Core System
Logo, wordmark, icon, typography, and palette.
The identity is practical and flexible: the FD icon can stand alone, the wordmark can lead formal applications, and the combined mark can support digital profiles, guidelines, and branded collateral.
FD Icon
A bold standalone mark that can work independently from the wordmark across digital and printed contexts.
Wordmark
A clean, spacious wordmark that gives the personal brand a professional and recognizable signature.
Typography
Helvetica Now creates a bold, neutral, and legible voice for headings, body text, and supporting details.
Color Palette
High contrast with a confident yellow accent.
Black anchors the system with sophistication and authority. White creates clarity and breathing room. Yellow adds energy, optimism, and attention for highlights and calls to action.
