The logo presented for Allied Merchants is a stylized, abstract depiction composed of a single, dark teal-colored shape that resembles a combination of the letters 'H' and 'I'. It achieves this by using negative space—a vertical line that divides the shape into two parts, with the right side appearing as a backward 'E' without the middle horizontal line. This clever use of negative space creates a visual puzzle, integrating the two letters into a cohesive and modern design. The shape is contained within a perfect square, and its rounded corners contribute to a soft and contemporary appearance.
