Design Process

A creative brief was used to identify the client’s requirements and the goal of the design. Due to the time limitation, we had less than two weeks to deliver the design. We conducted a rapid review of natural and cultural visual symbols. However, we discovered that

the fastest method to create the logo was to use the visual potential of the letters in the brand name, despite the name being long as it is composed of two connected syllables.

Logo Story

The word “Minu” represents an immigrant, while “Adapter” represents the helpers and activities provided by them. To convey the ideas of support and assistance in the logo, the words are positioned so that it shows the “Adapter” takes “Minu” on a journey to new places and experiences, helping them to become familiar with their surroundings.
This logo serves as a symbol of the support and guidance offered to immigrants during their integration process.
