GridBuilt on three units by two. One unit equals the diameter of the dot.
CornerA right triangle, half a cell, cut at 45°. It is the stem of the K, reduced to its top.
ArrowTwo cells wide. The top arm and the foot of the K meet in one notch.
DiagonalThe corner and the arrow share a single 45° line. One cut runs through the whole letter.
PointThe dot fills the one cell the stem would have used. A K, and something being looked at.

Four grounds.

The point changes colour with the ground. The letterforms stay black or white.

The field is yellow, red, pink and black. The new logo is the only blue, and the only one whose symbol is a separate part of the lockup. Squinted, the colour is gone and the lockup is as dark and wide as Cognex and Keyence, so the diagonal K has to carry it. At this width the symbol is small, so it reads best with the wordmark beside it.

On paper.

The business card, 85 × 55 mm. White front for the details with the symbol in the corner, navy back for the full logo.

The wordmark.

Wide, heavy capitals sit at 72% of the symbol height, so the name carries as much weight as the mark.

Room to breathe.

Keep one unit clear on every side, the width of the dot.
