Lyft Learn Mark

The Lyft Learn mark is, and has to be designed with the original Lyft mark.
The Lyft mark owns its very distinguished visual character and was repeated studied along the design process of the Lyft Learn type mark to ensure the alignment the identity visually.
The choice of type mark poses a fun challenge for the layout.
More than 50 different lockups were created and tested for the most ideal layout in term of size and position.
Lyft Learn Symbol

The Lyft Learn symbol mark was made further abstracted from the Lyft Learn type mark.

In a Lyft style, the symbol delivers the the message of knowledge is power in a powerful and humorous way.
