Scentwalk

Scentwalk is a conceptual corporate identity for a future company that extracts and stores memories in the form of smell. The logo is an abbreviation of the brand name and is built from the ideas of odor molecules, data, extraction, collection and walking.

Each character is hand drawn and then refined with digital image software, and the typeface can be used at variable sizes. Seen very closely, the details take over and the letter becomes hard to recognize, much as the shape of a mountain cannot be seen from its summit.
