Logo Design Brief
Create a company logo for "Loan X Lending" - a mortgage brokerage.
We envision a logo that is modern and clean. Initially our idea is that the logo should be centered around a large "x", however we are open to creative ideas. No colors.
We are looking for a few options with the same design profile. One with just the abbreviated "LXL" and one that shows the full name "Loan X Lending".
