The logo for Janosch Nowack is more than just a stylized monogram—it is a visual identity that reflects his artistic signature. As an illustrator with a deep fascination for Arabic and African cultures, Janosch integrates these inspirations into his work. His illustrations are often digital, but the starting point is almost always analog—featuring fine, clean lines that highlight his preference for sketch-like aesthetics. This duality between digital precision and analog spontaneity is also evident in the logo. The fine lines represent his attention to detail and the delicate nature of his sketches, while bolder elements symbolize stability and a confident artistic vision. The combination of serif elements and smooth curves reflects his ability to merge traditional and modern styles seamlessly.

The design process began with various hand-drawn sketches, exploring different ways to combine the initials “J” and “N” as it was clear Janosch wants a letter based logo. Several calligraphic and typographic approaches were tested to find a balance between elegance and clarity. As the process evolved, a unique combination emerged—one that references traditional lettering while maintaining a modern, minimalist aesthetic. The final design blends geometric structures with fluid shapes, representing both precision and artistic freedom.
