Gizmo Tail
The G's dart becomes the XYZ move-gizmo from any CAD viewport — instant signal that this is the spatial / surveying arm.
Sixteen exploratory marks for the Critec 360 sub-brand — spatial site surveying, LiDAR drone scans and CAD/architectural overlays, with client-facing portal sharing and infrastructure planning. Every concept keeps the recognisable Critec C+G mark and its volt-blue dart, then bends the visual language toward a different facet of the practice. Pick one (or several) for refinement.
The G's dart becomes the XYZ move-gizmo from any CAD viewport — instant signal that this is the spatial / surveying arm.
Three orthogonal orbital paths (X/Y/Z) sweep around the CG mark — evokes a 3-D viewport rotating freely.
CG anchored at the (0,0,0) origin of a CAD viewport. XYZ axes spear through the mark — the brand IS the datum.
The CG ring extruded into iso 3-D — a visible back face shifted 30° down-right with extrusion connectors. Front mark unchanged.
A degree-marked surveyor's ring frames the CG. Cardinal callouts (0° / 180° / 270°) read like a theodolite scale.
A single rotational arrow traces the 360° envelope. Subtle movement, instantly readable as 'this thing rotates'.
A field of point-cloud dots radiates from the CG — pure LiDAR. Random dot sizes and opacities mimic real scan returns.
A radar-style beam sweeps over the mark with concentric range rings — the active scan motif you see on every survey UI.
The Critec C is rebuilt entirely from point-cloud dots — the scan IS the brand. Solid G + dart anchors the identity.
A quadcopter sits above the CG, casting a dotted scan beam down. Reads instantly as drone-driven aerial survey.
The CG mark dressed up like an engineering drawing of itself — extension lines, dim arrows, Ø 360 callout. Pure technical.
The CG mark sits inside a CAD drawing's title block — sheet, scale, rev fields and all. Reads as a deliverable stamp.
Surveyor's red datum crosshair pierces the CG — fixed reference, absolute origin. Loud and confident.
Isometric floor-plan grid behind the mark, with miniature CCTV and network-switch glyphs at the corners — site infra at a glance.
The CG as the hub of a network topology — dashed spokes to outlying nodes. Reads as security & networking infrastructure.
The CG re-modelled as a triangulated wireframe — like a freshly-imported scan mesh. Most distinctive of the bunch.
