A pictorial mark is a logo built around a single, simplified picture or icon — think of an image reduced to its cleanest form until it becomes shorthand for the brand itself. Unlike an abstract shape, it depicts something recognisable, which gives customers an instant, literal way to connect the mark to what your business does.
Our designers develop icon concepts from your brief, testing shapes and proportions until the image reads clearly even at small sizes, then refine the final artwork in Photoshop. Your first draft arrives within 1–4 working days, with up to 5 rounds of revisions included so the icon can be adjusted until it feels exactly right. All artwork is securely backed up as we go.
A pictorial mark is especially effective once it's had time to become familiar, and it scales down cleanly to app icons, favicons and packaging stickers where a full name wouldn't fit. It suits product-based brands, cafes and restaurants, farms and outdoor businesses, and pet or lifestyle brands — a leaf for a plant shop, a coffee cup for a café, or a paw print for a pet grooming business, for example.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a pictorial mark, specifically?
A logo built around a single, simplified picture or icon — an image reduced to its cleanest form until it becomes shorthand for the brand itself.
How is this different from an abstract logo?
A pictorial mark depicts something recognisable (an object, an animal, a shape people can name), where an abstract mark deliberately doesn't — pictorial gives customers an instant visual hook to associate with the brand.
How much does it cost?

What do I receive when the design is finished?
