PRIMARY LOGO

Square shape, reflecting the name Madison Square, and exclamation point for excitement and energy.

INSPIRATION

The logo design was inspired by an aerial view of the MSG stadium, where I identified two key geometric shapes: the circular building and the surrounding square area.

The shapes guided the type design, incorporating circles and squares with evenly proportioned letters.
