LOGO
PROCESS DOCUMENTATION & SKETCHES
My inspiration behind the logo stems from DHL’s recognition as the world’s largest logistics company. I brainstormed the keywords, global distribution, flow, carrier, and express. From there, I began sketching different forms relating to each specific word and the result was my final logo. The angled and directional form expresses speed and global distribution while the individual shapes coming together represent the idea of packages being delivered.
COLOR PALETTE
For the color palette, I wanted to represent speed with the green and orange and sustainability with the brown.
