Classic monogram. Works anywhere; no product story.
PSX Algos
V7 · Wordmark only

Symbolic
V13 · Alpha (α)
Symbolic
96
28

Greek letter. In finance, 'alpha' = excess return over the benchmark — loaded with meaning for the audience. No trading brand owns this.
PSX Algos
V14 · Single-stroke arrow
Symbolic
96

One bold diagonal gesture, no chart line behind it. Less Robinhood-derivative than V8.
PSX Algos
V15 · Notched pill
Symbolic
96

Math symbol for change. Pure geometry, native to finance language. Instantly legible at any size.
PSX Algos

28
16
Big α anchors the mark; a tiny 2-node graph in the corner is the product signature. Rewards a closer look.
PSX Algos
Name-rooted
V21 · Algos A (node legs)
Name-rooted
96
28
16
Bold capital A where the two legs read as convergent nodes and the crossbar is the connector. The A *is* 'Algos'.

A (Algos) + X (PSX) fused into one compact glyph. Ligature reads as a single word-unit.
