What is Vertex?

From dictionary:

    vertex
    noun /ˈvərˌteks/ 
    vertexes, plural; vertices, plural

    1. The highest point; the top or apex

      • The crown of the head

        • Each angular point of a polygon, polyhedron, or other figure

          • A meeting point of two lines that form an angle

            • The point at which an axis meets a curve or surface


            For me vertex represents the angle where a two line meets. It usually looks like triangle, so most of my design will have triangle-shaped typography or logo to justify the meaning of vertex. Plus when you utter the word vertex, it sounds edgy when you say it. Something sharp and pointy. 

            In order to translate it into visual, check the next post on logo design.
