Goals

The primary goal was to develop a brand identity that resonates deeply with both local and international audiences, encouraging them to engage with eco-tourism and sustainable agricultural practices. The branding needed to capture the essence of the natural, pure, and authentic experiences that Green & Flow provides, while also being versatile enough for diverse applications.

Inspiration behind Green&Flow's brand design

Memories of the Journey

Our first concept captures the essence of travel through the nostalgia of cherished memories, emphasizing authentic experiences and sincere local life. It features a papercut motif with vintage colors and highlighted handwritten elements, embodying the rough and genuine interactions that define memorable journeys.

Concept 1: Memories of the Journey

Natural Flow

The second concept is themed around 'Natural Flow' - from our heritage in the past to an eco-friendly future where everyone contributes to enriching nature. This concept uses dynamic colors to mirror the energy and movement inherent in this flow, suggesting a vibrant, ongoing journey towards sustainability. Textures borrowed from nature are stylized in a contrasting manner, emphasizing the interaction between the old and the new, and the role of each individual in fostering a healthier planet.

Final Concept

After careful deliberation and creative rounds with Green & Flow, we decided to merge the strengths of both initial concepts to forge a unified brand identity. This integration combines the dynamic spirit of Concept 2 with the traditional visual patterns from Concept 1. This cohesive approach allows us to depict a brand that is both forward-looking and deeply rooted in tradition, reflecting a commitment to sustainability and community engagement.

Green&Flow Logo: Gateway to Cultural and Sustainable Development

Green & Flow serves as a gateway to unique cultural journeys through authentic agricultural experiences, enhancing sustainable development and deep connections with nature, culture, and inner peace. The logo combines a stable serif font, representing tradition and reliability, with a freely styled "w" that symbolizes growth and the seamless connection between humans and nature. This design reflects the brand’s commitment to sustainable, community-centered eco-tourism.
