M.I.T.
M.I.T. (Mary's Information and Technologies) is a fake brand meant to riff off of the normal entity known as I.T. Within my close family, I am often the person who gets called or asked to deal with technology. When it comes to technology, my family is either inept or lacks the patience to figure it all out. Since my teens, I have been asked to help with anything from setting up a device to figuring out why something keeps showing an error message. There were even a couple of times I had to help someone understand how to use Microsoft Word. All that being said, I am not an actual tech genius. Most of the problems I fix can be solved with either patiently following setup instructions, doing a hard reset of the device, or, in the worst cases, looking up a YouTube video.
For this design, I wanted something that had a hint of late 1990s to early 2000s tech and gaming logos. Designs during that time frame were starting to modernize into the conforming, flat, stark, blandness we often have today, but still held that artistic detail via different typefaces and color shading. With all this information in mind, I kept the design simple, opting to add subtle flair through a dark background and shifting blue colors. The tagline is, from what I know, a common first question asked by anyone who works with technological problems. My family eventually learned that this is something they have to do before they ask for help, as it solves the problem most of the time.
