CONCEPT ANALYSIS

LOGO DESIGN & COLOR SELECTION

The logo mark consists of geometric lines that form a Rhombus and an abstract formation of the letter E.
The connected lines symbolize various shapes such as the home, compass, mountains, sun. Each corner points the direction as in the compass. Those elements were specifically chosen to communicate adventure, belonging, safety.

The brand colors were selected using color psychology and strategically to differentiate from competitors.

Primary Color: Dark
Secondary Color: Green
