I like: Kin logo

Whilst I won’t be dashing out and getting myself one of the Microsoft | Sharp Kin phones. I did like the Kin logo. The logo seems to be completely unrelated to the devices.

There is a noticeable stylistic similarity to the S|Double Studio logo from Shawn Stussy‘s new clothing label.

And the S|Double logo reminds me of Asian seal designs used to sign documents and mark the ownership of artworks.

This is roughly what my given name would look like on a seal in Chinese characters.

Also reminds me of a swastika. Kind of scary when you think about it that way.
