From vendor to VD
Aug 18, 2026designbrand
The starting point: vendor
It started with a homophone. My name sounds like vendor, and the word fits nicely: this site is a small shop of content.
The trim: VNDR
Drop e and n, and you get VNDR. It still sounds like vendor, but looks shorter and more like a mark.
The minimal: VD
Finally, only VD remains as the logo. The design uses the simplest black-and-white split: half black, half white, cut by a single line that echoes the VNDR background.
Black and white are the foundation of this visual identity, and the site follows that palette.
