Concept

Our goal is to transform the logistics industry into an intelligent, promising concept, closely linked with innovation and progress.

It epitomizes enhancement, streamlining, and effectiveness in the transit of commodities, data, and services.


Outcome

Logo

The logo takes its cues from the "Dynamic Flow" concept. It is built around the fusion of the two characters, "S" and "M," symbolizing the Smart Minds brand. The typography in the logo maintains the clean and streamlined aesthetics of the symbol, using a sans-serif font to imbue a contemporary touch.


Graphic Device 

The graphic device, known as the ‘Flow’ serves as a dynamic and energetic element within Smart Minds visual identity. This graphic device encapsulates the essence of movement, innovation, and adaptability that Smart Minds embodies. Through its fluid lines and vibrant energy, the ‘Flow’ graphic device symbolizes the ever-evolving nature of technology and solutions that Smart Minds provides. Its usage in various brand applications infuses a sense of vitality and modernity, capturing the essence of the company’s commitment to delivering cutting-edge solutions in a constantly changing landscape.

Color palette is not merely a random selection, it has been meticulously chosen based on the values and messages we aim to convey. The color palette signifies modernity, creativity in the field of iinformation technology, while also generating a sense of distinctiveness and breakthrough, as well as reliability and innovation. The color palette is also associated with openness and adaptability, reflecting our ability to innovate and adapt to cope with challenges in the logistics industry. In essence, the color palette reflects the profound values and messages of Smart Minds.


Typography

Our choice of typography serves as a visual manifestation of our brand’s voice. The typefaces we use create a visual texture that adds a sense of warmth and depth to our written content. This enhances the vibrancy of our words, ensuring they resonate with our Graphic Device.
