Details
This is my proposal for the Beem logo task request for Utopian.io.
Idea
The guidelines for this logo were pretty straightforward:
- Use the pulley mechanism of a Beam Machine
- Incorporate the Python logo
- Create a simple, minimal design
- No color preferences
Disclaimer: I am aware that this proposal looks very similar to others due to the design restrictions imposed. I still think that this logo is a bit different.
Design Criteria
For this logo I wanted to evoke:
- Modern
- Simple
- Highly legible
I used a modern light type called Montserrat for the final logo available here
Logo Process
Screenshots of the process:
Color Exploration
Logo refinement
Final logo versions
I opted for two color options: warm and cool (blue). Plus negative and positive black and white versions.
Benefits / Improvements
A visual identity such as this will provide the following benefits:
- A visual element for all media communications
- An association with Python that clearly establishes a relationship with the logo and the service offered
- A youthful visual identity that will appeal to young audiences
- A simple design appearance that makes it memorable
Tools
I created the logo using Adobe Illustrator and the Mock-up image with Adobe Photoshop.
Original files in RGB color model for digital use, size 1024 by 1024 px in the following formats:

Thank you for your kind comment and the invite @radudangratian. I've already joined the group with my actual name, maybe that's why you didn't see me there as creativista ;)
naiii... i like it.. :)
why orange-pink..?
why not orange-blue.
It's a harmonic color palette @podanrj. I also proposed light blue to darker blue... The transition from a warm color to a cool color often generates a band of "dirty colors" in between. That's why I use harmonic color palettes i.e. colors that are next to each other in the color wheel. I guess these colors weren't welcomed lol, oh well :)
Which font did you use?
Ok, I fount it in your post :).
Monstserrat. It's a free Google web font. The link is in the post yes. Sorry for the delay.

Nice job mate!
One quick thing here, not only to your contribution but for all visual identity/logo design to come.
I'm no expert on Design, I just try my best to not do ugly stuff haha, but, even when providing the inverse applications, I often see this kind of contributions without the corresponding dark background examples.
It makes a lot of sense for me, as a "client" to see those applications, It adds value to the contribution showing how versatile the design is.
Just my $0.02, feel free to point out opposite thoughts on it.
Thanks!
Thanks for commenting @hernandev. What you point out is absolutely true, there must be both "positive" and "negative" versions of the logo, plus a full-color one, if it exists. The "positive" or black is suitable for white and light-colored backgrounds, while the "negative" or white is suitable for darker colors, even black, and busy photographic backgrounds (check the first example in the post). You can see all three versions in the Final logos section, plus the first version suitable for dark backgrounds ;)
