In the five years MM has been in the market, I’ve been asked a lot about my logo.   Well, to be honest, it was an accidental creation by yours truly. 

I’d commissioned a couple of graphic designers to create one for me, but being the picky perfectionist that I am, none of them seemed right. 

A logo is so crucial to a brand. You have to choose it carefully because it will represent who you are every single time someone sees it. 

I didn’t want something cheesy or over-the-top.  I wanted it to represent who I am as a creative mind. I wanted it to be bold, but not obnoxious and evoke a response the second someone saw it.

When the graphic designer submissions didn’t work out, I started playing with fonts on Microsoft Publisher (don’t judge me, I’m not a designer lol). 

I knew that I want to incorporate the Virgo sign somehow because I was proud of my zodiac sign and the creative power behind it. I also wanted to incorporate my favorite color Blue (which most think is because I'm a member of Zeta Phi Beta, but it was my fave long before Zeta lol) 

After trying many different options I deleted everything but the sign itself.   I paused and then sat there staring at it for a moment and thought – why not just the sign? 

It was an M, which represents Mahogani and Media, and it represented me as well because I was the Virgo.  One letter, one symbol, one brand for us all!
