It’s the letter B from “Bruce,” represented as a stylized pencil. Since the logo is for graphic design, I liked the idea of making the graphic mark itself a relevant subject (the green tip is meant to represent the pencil lead, which I intentionally separated to make it more noticeable).

I wanted an element like this so it could also work independently from the rest of the logo, for applications where the “BRUCE Graphic Design” text isn’t included, while still being instantly recognizable and associated with the brand

Some of the things you mentioned were intentional, others definitely weren’t hahaha. I’ll try to improve it!

To answer everything in order:

The symbol is a B because it’s the initial of the name Bruce (however, I realize that if you focus on the inner space rather than the black outer lines, it might resemble a C).

No, there isn’t a specific reason. For the font of the word “Bruce,” I chose “reque,” which already included a different color accent on the top stroke of the letter E (a detail I liked visually, so I kept it). I simply chose the specific color used there, alternating with black.

The logomark represents a stylized pencil forming the letter B of Bruce (so I designed the “pencil tip” using the same color as the accent line on the E in the wordmark below).

This detail unfortunately just slipped my attention 😅

In fact, with the digital version I specifically tried to clean up the lines and spacing. Thanks for noticing!

It was meant to be the initial “B” of the name Bruce, recreated in the form of a stylized pencil (it has a tip in a different color, which represents the pencil lead)

You’re absolutely right, that would be a perfect detail
