@feju I haven't used swift yet, but just based on UIKit, I don't think that's right. You're basically initializing a UIView subclass with no frame, which is to say, CGRrctZero. Then you're calling drawRect. What you should be doing is initializing the view with myRect. drawRect will be called for you the first time the view needs to be drawn. If the state of your app changes later, and you need to update the view, you call setNeedsDisplay or setNeedsDisplayInRect, and the region will be marked as dirty and redrawn on the next iteration of the run loop.

I wrote this by creating a starter project using the Xcode iOS Single View Application template with the Swift language. I then added a UIView to the storyboard, made it square (by setting up auto-layout as appropriate), and set its class to ATPLogoView. Finally, since this uses MyriadPro-Semibold which isn't on iOS, I found that file in Font Book, added it to the project, and created an entry in the Info.plist under UIAppFonts listing its filename.
