Visual Identity

A light-bending logo 


Matthew Coughlin Photography’s symbol is inspired by rays of light and composition to form a distinctive, bold visual identity. The new aesthetic of Matthew’s visual identity not only supports the quality characteristics of his work, but showcases his ability to be flexible, dynamic, and adaptive. The mark abstractly portrays light bouncing between a room—tapering off as the light becomes more dim.









Jared has such a unique approach to his craft. He is very meticulous with his design: every line, curve, and angle has meaning behind it. Jared isn’t just creating something because it “looks cool,” he creates with intent and purpose. His personality is infectious — he’s a genuine person you want to be around.”







A huge thank you to Matthew Coughlin for trust the process and embodying such a bold, differentiated brand identity.
