Every month, Brandstack will recognize logos which exhibit particular badassedness. Is that a real word? At Brandstack, it is. Scroll down to see why…

It’s that time again. Time to take a look at the past month’s logos and showcase some of the best and brightest –though, this month’s top logo is kind of dark.

The Badass Logo of the Month for May is ru_ferret’s “Fantom.” It’s one thing to make expert use of negative space in a logo. It’s another when the negative space is being used to encompass the entire message of the logo. Just… bravo.

Congratulations, ru_ferret!
