To represent the partnership of the two architects, a monogram was created using the firm's initials. After exploring many variations, the result feels architectural yet organic — perfectly suited for the landscape duo.
The form and color of the monogram pull inspiration from chop signatures of East Asia and Zen gardens, which serve as a source of inspiration for the firm’s work.

The elements of the brand follow a simple three-column layout. This rule of thirds principle is inspired by the technique commonly used in landscape photography.
Collateral materials were printed using letterpress to elicit the tactile and hand-crafted nature of Moody Graham’s landscape services.
