San José Ambiental: Prioritizing the department in hygiene, the environment, and nature.
In southwestern Uruguay, "San José Ambiental" emerges, an environmental development master plan committed to the transformation of the department of San José. This project is distinguished by its comprehensive approach and dedication to sustainability. In creating its visual identity, we sought to reflect the plan's core values.
The name "San José Ambiental" embodies simplicity and clarity. The choice of a straightforward name facilitates memorability and unequivocally conveys the plan's mission. Simplicity is key, considering the importance of the community quickly associating the name with the initiative.
We chose this shorter name instead of "Departmental Environmental Master Plan" because it would become a very complex composition for a logo. We believe there will be many opportunities (embodied in graphic pieces) to name the plan fully and correctly.
The distinctive icon on the right with the green San José department adds a personalized touch. This unique element reinforces the visual identity and serves as a recognizable symbol. We experimented with various shapes to achieve a distinctive design that is memorable and represents the essence of the place.
The prioritization of strong words in the name (José and Ambiental) seeks to effectively impact public perception. It is a widely accepted naming industry technique. Clear pronunciation and a memorable name contribute to the plan's awareness and community acceptance.
The emphasis on the word "Environmental" reflects the priority of the project. By strategically positioning it and highlighting it visually, we seek to effectively communicate the commitment to environmental preservation. The choice of natural colors and graphic elements reinforces this message. This approach also symbolizes the community's connection to the plan, building a sustainable future together.
The concept of the green planet with the outline of San José as a continent highlights the importance of the geographic location and local responsibility. The department plays a key role in protecting the Río de la Plata. This element reinforces the connection between the initiative and the community, reminding everyone that they are contributing to a healthier and more balanced environment.
Ultimately, the "San José Ambiental" logo is not simply a graphic representation; it is the visual manifestation of a commitment to sustainability and environmental development. Through the combination of key elements, we seek to inspire the community to join together in building a greener and more prosperous future.
