EU Business News - Irish Enterprise Awards 2025 - Creative Communicator of the Year 2025 - Poetic (Kalle Ryan)
Logo for poetic. simple lowercase black letters. slightly misaligned to hint at the non-linear way that creativity (and poetic endeavours) often works. An indigo circle sits behind the letter "P". A yellow circle sits behind the letter "O". An red circle sits on top of the letter "I". And a blue circle sits at the end as a full stop. Or period, for my US English speaking friends.
