Marble Queen is a 2023 studio design study for an imagined natural-stone brand, made without a client. Three 60° lozenges form a crown above a wide MARBLE and a widely spaced serif QUEEN; one layout then runs through four stones: onyx and gold, emerald, amethyst and white.

  • Crown mark and wordmark
  • Four stone colourways
  • Portrait post templates
  • Web banners

01The mark

Three lozenges,
one crown.

Every edge of the crown is level or runs at 60°, so the three lozenges and the bar beneath share one grid, drawn out on the right. MARBLE is set in wide geometric capitals and QUEEN in a light serif with open spacing, a quieter second voice. In the 2023 file the crown and MARBLE carry a soft gold gradient and QUEEN a warm grey.

60° · One angle for every slanted edge; lozenges and bar share a single grid.

MARBLEWide geometric sans, capitals, medium weight.
QUEENLight serif capitals, open spacing, about a third of MARBLE’s width.

02Colourways

One layout,
four stones.

The portrait template splits the frame: the mark on a white panel, the stone beside it. Each colourway gives the mark the stone’s own ink — onyx, emerald, amethyst — and the white stone carries it centred, in charcoal. The 2023 boards used stock marble photography; here each stone is redrawn as a flat ground with fine veining so the set can be shown whole.

03On the web

A band of white,
a field of stone.

On the web the same idea turns horizontal: a white band carries the mark and the stone fills the rest of the frame. Shown in emerald and amethyst at 16:9.

The same banner in amethyst. The mark’s ink follows the stone; the band and the mark’s position stay fixed.

NoteMarble Queen

A 2023 studio design study; no client, project or stone supplier is on record, and none is implied. The mark is shown from the original 2023 vector file, unaltered except for colour in the colourways. The 2023 post boards were built on stock marble textures, stock interior renderings and a stock portrait; none of that is shown. The stone fields, veining and the debossed closing image were drawn for this page from the 2023 layouts. AI-generated stone scenes and a folder mockup used on an earlier version of this page have been removed.
