Most businesses don’t just need a logo.
They need a brand identity that makes people trust them faster, remember them longer, and choose them with confidence.
That is where I come in.
I’m Matthew Monday, a Logo & Brand Identity Designer with 14+ years of experience helping startups, entrepreneurs, small businesses, personal brands, and growing companies create professional visual identities that are clean, memorable, strategic, and built to last.
I don’t design logos that only look good on a screen.
I create complete brand identity systems that work across your website, social media, packaging, business cards, presentations, marketing materials, merchandise, signage, and print.

My Design Approach
I believe a strong brand should be more than beautiful.
It should be clear, intentional, meaningful, and easy to recognise.
Before I start designing, I take time to understand:
Your business
Your audience
Your competitors
Your brand personality
Your industry
Your long-term vision
Where and how the logo will be used
This helps me create a logo and visual identity that is not random, generic, or based on trends alone.
Every design decision has a purpose — from the typography and colour palette to the logo structure, spacing, balance, and final file preparation.

Hi name is Amanda Meador. Currently residing in Albuquerque, NM, I have been a self taught graphic designer and illustrator for the past five years. My first passion has always been music, and after designing my own advertisements and cd covers, I realized I was smitten with design. I cover a multitude of creative needs from posters, greeting cards, post cards, real estate flyers, logos, GIF's and more.
I work predominantly in Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Indesign, Adobe Photoshop, and Adobe After Effects.
