The Climb - Personal Logo [Finalized]

Life is about choosing which mountains are worth climbing.

My favorite part of the creative process is the unexpected stroke of insight - that "aha" moment you painstakingly earn through grit, which frustratingly comes only after you stop searching for the answer. This logo concept was an indirect result of me taking a work break to ruminate over what problems I could aspire to solve through design. Education, health, sustainability, human productivity - with so many important issues at hand, I find it very difficult to choose one over another. Hence, the motto and meaning behind this monogram of my initials [MT]: Life is about choosing which mountains are worth climbing.

I don't know exactly which mountains I want to climb yet, but I do know that I'll only be satisfied by trekking up the toughest ones. So for now, I'll just have to keep climbing, relentlessly reaching one summit after another, with each experience allowing me a hopeful stroke of insight that nudges me further along in the right direction.
