Minimalist Monochrome Text Logo Design

I need a sleek, text-only logo executed in a monochrome palette. The overall look should feel modern and uncluttered—no icons, illustrations, or color gradients—just strong, well-balanced typography that can scale from a favicon to large format without losing clarity.

My brand name will be provided once we start, along with a short tagline that may or may not appear in certain applications. The final artwork has to be vector-based (Adobe Illustrator preferred) so I can adapt it across digital and print materials with ease.

Deliverables
• Editable AI file with outlined and live-text versions
• SVG, PDF, PNG (transparent background) and JPEG exports in multiple sizes
• Simple usage guide noting the exact monochrome values and recommended clear-space

Acceptance criteria
• Letterforms are original or legally licensed and kerned for visual balance
• Pure monochrome palette—no tints, shades, or secondary hues
• Crisp rendering at 16 × 16 px and 4000 × 4000 px without distortion

Feel free to suggest two or three typeface directions in your first draft so we can lock the direction quickly and move to refinement.
