3. Brand Evolution: New Logo
 Based on original logo, the new logo has been simplified so it works across
different media
 The word “Sustainable” makes it immediately clear what space we occupy
 The font is Ryman Eco – the world’s first eco font which claims to use a third
less ink and toner than Arial, Times New Roman, Georgia and Verdana
 Visually the font is reminiscent of Maori art and carving which gives the logo a
slightly New Zealand/Northland flavour

4. Logo can be extended as business
diversifies

5. Logo can be easily adapted for use
in events and marketing
