I build these hand-framed magnets with the expectation that they’ll be looked at closely. Working at a small scale allows the frame, materials, and construction to come forward, especially the framing fillet, a component that’s often overlooked.

The logo was selected and refined from a few options. Below are the presented comps and unchosen designs.
