No Signal

Logo Concepts

Four directions for the No Signal app icon — bold, modern, premium. Each concept in two color modes: dark base and signal red. Pick a direction, pick a vibe.

Bold Standalone N

Pure Netflix energy. A thick, geometric sans-serif N with bold vertical pillars connected by a strong diagonal. No ornamentation — just raw confidence. The letterform is slightly condensed with sharp 90° terminals, giving it an industrial, NEXTRAVELER-inspired edge. The thick stroke weight ensures it reads clearly even at the smallest sizes.

N with Broken Signal

The "No Signal" story built into the mark. Three signal arcs emanate from the upper-right corner of the N, but they break apart and fade as they extend — solid near the letter, dashed in the middle, nearly invisible at the edge. A subtle diagonal slash crosses through the arcs. The concept is immediately communicative: this app works when signal doesn't.

N in Circle Container

Spotify's iconic circular container meets the bold N. The circle provides a strong, app-native frame that feels natural on a home screen. A deliberate gap/break in the circle's stroke at the top-right subtly suggests a broken signal — a detail that rewards close looking. A whisper-thin inner ring adds premium depth. The N is proportioned to fill the circle without crowding.

Concept 4: Compass N — Dark Mode

N with Compass Element

Navigation meets letterform. The N stands bold and geometric, surrounded by a barely-visible compass ring with subtle cardinal ticks at N/S/E/W. The diagonal stroke of the N is slightly tapered, evoking a compass needle. A small negative-space diamond at the center hints at a compass rose. The north tick is more prominent — "N" for both the letter and true north. Survival is about direction.

Bold Standalone N

The same confident N, now reversed. Dark letterform on Signal Red radiates energy and urgency. High shelf presence — this version screams "pick me up" on any app store page.

N with Broken Signal

Dark waves on red — the broken signal arcs feel more dramatic against the warm background. The "no signal" slash reads as a warning label, urgent and unmistakable.

N in Circle Container

The contained N gains a completely different character reversed. Dark circle and letter on red feels like a stamp, a seal of approval. The broken gap in the ring becomes even more subtle and rewarding.

N with Compass Element

The compass concept on red feels adventurous — like a trail marker or expedition badge. The dark N and compass ticks cut through the warm background with purposeful contrast. The diamond at center now glows red.
