Refined Sketches
When we further refined our logo, I found that the image of the shield was more in line with the core values and image of the brand. The shield symbolizes protection, tenacity and responsibility, perfectly in line with the brand’s focus on marine ecological protection. By emphasizing the shield element, we not only highlight the determination and strength of the brand, but also inject a deeper meaning into the LOGO. This decision aims to make the brand logo more recognizable and emotionally resonant, and inject more unique features into the creation of the brand image.
