Plaza Maru is a vibrant space located in Cumbayá, Ecuador. This venue is home to a variety of restaurants and food establishments, each with its culinary style and specialty.
The name "Plaza Maru" derives from the Korean term Maru, which means circle, peak, or a family room to eat and gather. The design of the logo draws influence from these meanings, incorporating elements that symbolize ascent, elevation, and fluidity that evoke a sense of movement and connection. While Asian inspiration is present in the design, it is done subtly and elegantly without being overly explicit. These allow the logo to convey a feeling of sophistication and modernity while leaving room for interpretation and the viewer's imagination.
