RESEARCH ABSTRACT: Research has shown that visual symbols with broad consensus can evoke a common memory and establish a unified perception of a certain figure. Earth is one of such symbols. besides expressing the concept of eco-friendly, the use of the earth as the core element of the organization over a long period of time has built a solid consensus in people's minds that they are socially responsible, international and reliable, which is the main reason why we chose this element for carbon research.
CHALLENGE: In order to express carbon, environmental protection and other elements while making the brand logo convey a deeper significance to help brand positioning, the selection of elements, how to match and combine them, and how to handle the details in the design process are huge challenges that require systematic and unified thinking by the design team.
