Domenico Melchiorre 1 is a logo for the Swiss instrument builder and composer Domenico Melchiorre, who founded the instrument development company LUNASON in 2016.[1] The mark was designed in 2015 by Henry Gillis, a Swiss product designer and art director whose practice includes building brands and crafting hand-made logos.[2]
Design and History
The Domenico Melchiorre 1 logo is a circle-shaped mark created for the instrument builder brand from Switzerland.[3] The design predates the founding of LUNASON by one year, appearing in 2015 before Melchiorre established the company in 2016.[1]
Henry Gillis, the designer credited with the symbol, describes his approach as building brands from the ground up in close collaboration with stakeholders, from developing a distinct brand voice to crafting a hand-made logo.[2] His professional background spans product design, interaction design, art direction and branding, with clients including Novartis, Radio Energy, Xing and Helvetia.[4]
Meaning and Symbolism
Documented meaning for the Domenico Melchiorre 1 logo itself is limited. The brand is associated with Melchiorre’s work as founder of LUNASON, a company developing a progressive set of musical instruments that combines “the passion in the exploration of noble sound worlds with the uniqueness of its creations.”[5] The circle shape of the logo is noted in the design record, though no specific symbolic interpretation of the circular form has been documented.[3]
