One day, my dear friend (and cousin), Katrīna, texted me with an idea: to
start a creative collective together. She already had plenty of projects in
mind, and I loved the concept. As we began brainstorming about what
our little brand could look like, we found inspiration in the philosophy
of the Good, the True, the Beautiful.

As we are both Christians and attend the same church, the Old
Evangelical Church of St. Gertrude, we decided to look for inspiration
there. The symbol in our logo is based on the church's three main
windows above the altar.

The three windows each represent one of the three pillars: the Good,
the True, the Beautiful. Looking through all three, we are reminded of
the fullness of God, in whom they all come together.

For the wordmark, I wanted something that would complement
the symbol but have its own character. I went with Greek-inspired
letterforms and replaced the letter A with the Greek letter Alpha.
This is a small nod to the Alpha course, through which we both
found our way to this church.

“Āķītes” is still just getting started, but we have plenty of ideas for what
we would like to do together. We are looking forward to seeing where
this little project takes us, so keep an eye out for what's coming next!
