The Seed & the Canopy

From Abbotswood Design Group to Fogram Enterprises
Abbotswood Design Group and Fogram Enterprises logos side by side

The Abbotswood mark was drawn from the tools of the craft: a blade of grass and a T-square resolving into a pencil. Greens and browns — earth colors. Precision and freedom at once, the way good landscape architecture begins. For sixteen years it stood for a Northwest practice built on drawing, dirt, and the discipline of getting details right.

The Fogram mark is what that pencil grew into: a planet. As the practice matured across five continents, water itself entered the design vernacular, blue joined green on the palette, and every shape on the abstract globe came to stand for a different place and skill gathered over thirty years.

Yet the two marks are rooted in each other — the seed and the canopy. Northwest to Southwest, Idaho to Arizona: never forgetting where you came from, constantly growing along the way.
