FIRST COMMIT

Logo design as the foundation for a larger brand identity system that was developed while supporting Toil Studio for the YouTube series “First Commit” hosted by Nina Lui, an early-stage investor at Dell Technologies Capital. The show features in-depth interviews with the builders behind leading startups, open-source projects, and research papers shaping the future of AI and technology.

The logo takes inspiration from coding culture—specifically the concept of a "first commit"—with bold, modular typography and a speech bubble form that emphasizes conversation and clarity. The design strikes a balance between technical edge and human accessibility, reflecting the tone of the show and the visionary voices it highlights.
