In this example, the white space (also know as negative space) all around the logotype erodes the basic form of the typefaces (e.g. the F’s stem or the T’s crossbar) creating a concise and extremely minimal design. Notice also the word “fabric”, stripped of the vowels, and enclosed by the O’s counter.
The New Minimum logo is so minimun that, in fact, it doesn’t even exists. It’s just a pixel hole carved on the menu (fixed on the page top). If you scroll the page, you can see the content passing under it. So zen, so minimal.

The capital C in Lane Crawford’s logo stretches out vertically and completes itself leaning on the lower r stem, forming an almost full ellipse.
Take some bevel effect, add in a nice wood texture and apply it on a beautiful lettering. This is the recipe for a logo that will look like the one I stole from Finegoods Market.
