Clean san serif typography with a warm feel. This logo seeks to capture the essence of a modern card game that brings people together.

This combined letter form creates a compelling sense of fluidity and movement between the two forms while seeking to create an experience of seeking one unique form created by the coexistence of two identifiable letterforms.
