What is Callidus Modus?
7/6/2026
Callidus modus is latin for a “cunning method.” I chose this as my motif because I like to think outside the box and pride myself on my resourcefulness. It also happens that my initials are the same.
What are the odds? Totally didn’t plan that…
The logo I devised stems from my initials as well. I wanted something that was mathematically predictable while also had the general shape of my initials. I must say, I am fairly happy with how it turned out…not to mention it was a good exercise in writing SVGs by hand:
I find the perpetuity of the shape to be partiucularly inspiring as well; not only does it resemble “infinity” but is reminds me of links, automata, and other anecdotally relatable symbology.
For reference, here is an abbreviated version of the SVG:
