The central challenge was to create a mark that embodied the philosophy: "order into chaos than chaos into order." The logo needed to evoke precision and structure while simultaneously suggesting boundless potential and adaptability—reflecting how decision intelligence brings clarity to complex, uncertain situations. Key Requirements: Balance between order and infinite possibility Convey precision, clarity, and analytical rigor Remain versatile across digital and physical applications Support Google's broader design ecosystem while maintaining distinct identity

Phase 1: Discovery & Conceptualization Through collaborative sessions with the Decision Intelligence team, I explored the intersection of data science, decision-making frameworks, and cognitive psychology. Initial hand sketches investigated geometric patterns, interconnected systems, and abstract representations of clarity emerging from complexity. Research focused on: Color psychology for analytical and innovative spaces Typography that balances approachability with authority Visual metaphors for decision pathways and intelligence networks Phase 2: Design Development Selected concepts were refined in vector form, beginning with black-and-white studies to establish strong foundational forms before introducing color. Multiple variants were developed to ensure flexibility across use cases—from digital presentations to printed collateral. The iterative process included regular feedback cycles with stakeholders, ensuring the final mark authentically represented the Decision Intelligence vision while meeting technical requirements for scalability and reproduction.
