This is my journey of finding ‘ME’
– my identity of 2 letters “T”
I have been on and off working on my own logo, try to find my own voice to sync with my logo. I tried to use my last name in Chinese characters that represent my heritage.
It was eye-catching. I even added my Chinese Name stamp (I got it from my dad who went to a place in Hong Kong to get it custom made for me). So I use it on my design portfolio site. But for most people it may not be communicating that well and look quite formal.
That makes me to rethink my logo since the one on my own site is horizontal format and not work good with square/circle environment. So I tried to put ‘T’ and ‘T’ together like a tire thread, it was cool for a while, it is well-balance with figure/ground concept. But still it is not ‘really me’.
At this point, I try to combine two ‘T’s together, I have tried several ways. The combination of TWO hand-drawn Ts.

in Mandarin but ‘Chun’ for pronouncing in Cantonese.
2T concept like a tire thread impression.
