Logo with Soul
Capturing the Spirit of the Surfer Girl
In 2020, we were approached by the organizer of an all-women’s surf and bodyboarding group called Revitalize Surf NW. She was looking for a feminist logo that would spark adventure and friendship. During our first meeting, she gave us a few sketches and a list of concepts to explore.
While the sketches were well done, we felt that they didn’t fully capture the essence of the group. We wanted to create a logo that was empowering and inviting, encouraging women to feel confident and supported in the water.
After brainstorming a number of ideas, we came up with the concept of a wave that is both strong and graceful. The wave is also inclusive, representing the diversity of women who participate in the group.
