Brand, Re-brand. Natural Surroundings Logo Redo.

Posted on July 10, 2010 by Seán Coleman

Today I have chosen to redo a logo that may not actually require a redo. I actually kind of like the existing logo. Here is the existing logo as it appears on the company’s web page.

logo before

I like the colors. Very neutral and very serious and professional. I feel like this logo works very well for a company that provides commercial services, services to other businesses. But, Natural Surroundings also provides services to regular consumer. Because of this I feel the logo should be a bit warmer and appealing to regular folks like you and I.

brand rebrand - natural surroundings logo redoHere I have made some significant changes. In the previous version the company name is tastefully set within a floating rectangle, behind it is the silhouette of a tree. Although the company provides landscaping services including planting trees this is not their only focus. Actually, the current logo makes me think of tree pruning service. In my redesign I have represented trees by merging several circular and oval shapes along the top to appear as a landscaped row of shrubs. The outlines of these shapes is also displayed prominently to signify planning which is what the company does. Below the company name is another area which contains a representation of paver stones which is another major aspect of the company’s business. I feel like the simple visual illustrations and inviting colors will appeal not just to commercial customers but also to residential ones.

Participate: I am always accepting ideas from readers. Currently I would like to hear ideas on the existing logo or another fictitious or existing brand that you would like to see me design or re-design a logo for. If you like what you see here then help me promote this site! If you are on Facebook then become a fan of the Circadian Creative’s Facebook page.
