OPTI GALAXY is a logo concept for an optical store, drawn in the studio in 2023. The idea fits in one letter: the O of OPTI becomes a thick ring — a lens seen face-on — with a small planet inside it, crossed by diagonal bands. The rest of the name follows in clean geometric capitals, widely spaced. Two colours carry everything: a deep ultramarine violet and a warm cream.

01The symbol

One circle,
two weights.

Inside the wordmark the ring is drawn as heavy as the letters, so it reads as an O first and a lens second, and the planet stays small. Beside the stacked name the ring thins and the planet grows to nearly fill it. Both versions cut their bands at the same angle, about 24 degrees.

The symbol in two weights, with construction: a heavy ring and small planet inside the wordmark (left), a thin ring and large planet beside the stacked name (right); bands at about 24 degrees

02Lockups

One line for signs,
two for small things.

The one-line wordmark goes where there is width: the shopfront fascia, the window headers, the website. On the card and the bags the name stacks into two lines beside the symbol, and the O of OPTI goes back to being a plain letter.

Violet outside,
cream within.

The card is violet on the front, with the stacked lockup centred in cream, and cream on the back with only the symbol and a fine violet edge; its template name and contact lines are left out here. The bags come in white and violet paper, each with the stacked lockup low in the corner.

04Shopfront

The ring
in the window.

The set imagined the store from the street: the wordmark as backlit letters across the fascia, repeated on dark headers above both windows, and the ring-and-planet symbol at full size on the glass. It is redrawn here as a flat elevation from the set’s mockup.

OPTI GALAXY is a logo concept for an optical store, drawn by a studio designer in 2023 and shown as a social-media set; no commission or production is on record. The symbol, wordmark and stacked lockup are the original vector drawings, in the file’s own violet (#27197F) and cream (#F9F6EB). The business card is shown without its template name and contact lines. The bags and the shopfront are flat redraws of applications the set showed on stock mockups; the tile band comes from the set’s website concept, whose placeholder text and stock photographs are not shown, nor is the set’s stock photograph of a frame wall.
