Clean Syne wordmark. Clear for corporate emails and invoice headers. Closest to “use my name.”
Directions to compare. Wordmark = type treatment. Logo = mark that can stand alone (monogram / symbol). Full legal name stays off the public mark per Mo.
One-syllable lead. Easy to say on a set. Surname as secondary rail with red tick.
Matches IG energy (lowercase “mo”). Period as a little end-slate. Risk: softer for Bentley-level clients unless paired with a strong lockup.
Standalone mark for favicons, watermarks, end cards. Pair with “Mo Perz” in text beside it for the site header.
Cinematic without being cheesy. Watch: tight right strip can make O read as d / Md — see E lab for fixes.
High-fashion / luxury event energy (airport Bentley night). Less music-video, more corporate polish.
Abstract M with red cut. Works tiny. Needs a wordmark beside it so strangers still know the name.
Poster / title-card stack. Strong on vertical phone frames and end slates.
Editor / timeline vibe (underscore like a filename). Fun for creatives; maybe too geeky alone for corporate.
Honest system: formal wordmark for the site + invoices; lowercase mo. for social. Many freelancers run both on purpose.
E lab — film gate
You liked E. Problem: tight right strip turned the O into a d / “Md”. E9–E20 are parked drafts. Film-ribbon: E film quality. New: lens inside the o. A–J stay as-is.
Same bilateral gate, more air so the O never kisses the right strip.
Asymmetric. No right edge to fake a stem on the O. Still reads “film.”
Sprockets live in the frame border; letters float clear in the window.
Horizontal film bar as underline. Zero collision with the O.
Letter-spacing opens the O; gates stay wide. Still bilateral.
Accent on the sprockets instead of the type. Wide gap like E1.
White film chip, black type. Sprocket holes punch the edges; letters never touch them.
Left gate + Mo + small PERZ. Fixes Md and keeps full name for clients who need it.
Both legs of the M are sprocket strips; the O is a clean ring with air. Hard to misread as Md.
Constructed film-M + ordinary lowercase o. Playful; check it still feels “Mo” not “M0.”
Real type M with sprocket holes cut into the stems. O untouched. Subtle but on-theme.
Film idea on one stem only — lighter. O stays a full circle with space.
Same as E9 with accent on the M only; O stays white so the name still reads first.
Letter M filled with a repeating film texture; o solid. Very “editor” without side gates.
E refined — type M + ribbon M
Earlier craft pass (parked). See E film quality for along-path 35mm ribbons matched to the photographic strip reference.
Exact E2 setup (left gate + Syne Mo). The M glyph is filled with film texture; o stays solid white.
Same letters as E2, no side gate. Sprocket punches sit on the M stems only — o untouched.
Single flowing film ribbon bent into an M. Mark-only — pair with type beside it later.
Same ribbon continues from the M into a looped o — one piece of film spelling Mo.
Hybrid: flowing film M + the same Syne o as E2.
Closest to “E2’s M, but the letter is the strip” — film-filled Syne M + solid o, no flanking gate.
E film quality — continuous 35mm
Quality bar: photographic coiled film (dual sprocket rows, frame gates, one continuous ribbon with soft bends). E9–E20 parked. Perforations are placed along the path and eased at corners so joints don’t pile up.
One continuous 35mm ribbon with soft bends at the peaks and valley. Sprockets follow the path and ease at the corners.
Same continuous M path in amber celluloid — closer to the photographic strip reference.
Film continues from the M into a looped o as one strip.
Continuous film M with the Syne o from E2.
Exact E2 Syne Mo; M filled with fine dual-row sprocket texture.
More open bends (larger radius) so the strip reads as one flowing piece, like the coiled reference.
Same open continuous path as E26 in logo white.
E lens-o — clean camera lens in the O
Syne M stays type; only the o becomes a restrained lens. No camera body, no busy iris. Film gate optional — one craft signal on the letter.
Most professional default. Outer stroke reads as o; two thin rings + pinpoint read as lens elements.
Quieter. One inner ring only — almost still “just an o,” but the double circle cues glass.
Still simple: hex = aperture hint. Stop before adding more blades or a shutter graphic.
E8 structure with concentric lens-o. Good test: does PERZ + gate + lens still feel calm?
If film gate already lives elsewhere, the mark can be just Mo with the quiet lens o.
How to use this with Mo
- Pick a favorite and a runner-up (letter codes A–J).
- Say what feels “not me.”
- Screenshot his current video logo as a reference for what to beat — not copy.
Typography concepts only for now. We can refine SVGs or commission a drawn mark after he picks a lane.
