Ten directions.
Pick the one that lands.
All ten are built from the locked type system — Fraunces, ink type, ivory or ink grounds. No symbols, no icons, no decoration. Each is a different posture: where one says editorial, another says operator, another says house. Live with them. The right one will quiet.

Mid-dot wordmark
Fraunces tight, ink mid-dot separator between names. The current locked direction.
SignalsRestrained editorial. Reads as Scandi-luxury house.

Period as clay dot
The period is the brand's terracotta dot from the home hero — wordmark reads like a sealed statement.
SignalsBranded. The terracotta dot is the signature.

Lowercase wordmark
All-lowercase. The form reads as modern operator, not old-money editorial.
SignalsQuietly modern. Operator, not consultant.

All-caps tracked
Tracked uppercase with mid-dot. Reads as letterhead — law firm, family office, single-shingle advisory.
SignalsAuthoritative. Letterhead-grade seniority.

Stacked editorial
Two lines, hairline rule between, italic on the second. Editorial masthead energy.

Six symbol directions
to pair with the wordmark.
An executive advisory mark usually isn't a symbol replacing a wordmark — it's a symbol pairing with one. Toteme, Brunswick, Bridgewater all skip symbols entirely; Loewe uses the L emblem alongside the Loewe wordmark. These six are AI-generated raster moodboards exploring directions she could react to. The one she picks would be redrawn as clean SVG before production.
Format · Raster PNG · Not production assets
01Arch
Strategic foundation. Architecture as metaphor.
Classical arch, single hairline. Cleanest of the six.
02Olive branch
Heritage, wisdom, calm authority.
Single fine line. Reads as timeless but could feel religious.
03Knot
Coordination. Binding what was separate.
Two strokes interlocked. Loewe-coded; suggests her actual work.
04Column
Foundation, support, classical authority.
Minimal column with simple capital. Risk: reads old-world law firm.
05Sun seal
Heritage, energy, terracotta-signature.
Off-register risk — reads more spiritual than executive. Brand colour locks but the form feels ethnic/folk, not Scandi-editorial. Cut candidate.
06Compass star
Direction, navigation, north star.
Eight-point heraldic. Reads as a real mark; pairs strong with stacked / mononym wordmarks.
These are raster PNGs from a generative model, not vector files. They're the moodboard — pick a directionshe resonates with, and I'll redraw it in clean SVG by hand for production use. If none land, that's also a result: it means the brand wants to live as wordmark-only, like Toteme.
03 — Knot. The metaphor matches her actual work (binding what was separate). Pairs strongest with wordmark 01 (mid-dot).
