Circles

The circle is a very popular basic element in logo design. It may be used as an independent logo element, or come into operation within a text. (the dot on the i, the last point, the point in the exclamation mark etc.)

The archetypical meaning:

Of course, circles may also be utilized in other ways. If, for example, circular shapes that emanate from one center are mixed, they are usually interpreted as rotation, or as a tornado etc.

If you would like to illustrate a globe, you could intersect the circle with lines that conventionalize the degrees of latitude and longitude. For the design of a ball, just leave out the latitudes, and the circle is interpreted as a ball.

As with contours, a circle may be open work and still be recognized as a circle.

Circles can also be split up to create semicircles or, according to the segmentation, sectors. These figures can in turn be used for the most different shapes. They may also be <link>combined at will.

If a very small and filled circle is shown, it isn't necessarily seen as a circle anymore, but rather as a dot. Many dots can again be used to construct various elements, either with dots of the same size or variable sizes. You can use them to create new circles, squares, hexagons etc.
