Logo Concept Explained
The ‘I’ of Innovage in the centre, with the upward turned hands suggest financial assistance. The ‘I’ also has a suggestion of a common man. The dot of the ‘I’ doubles up as a coin. The ‘I’ suggesting innovage is the centre from where emanates the tree of financial growth, suggesting that Innovage leads you to financial growth. The tree, an eternal symbol of dependability, safety and security, lends these qualities to the logo. The tree also suggests a long term association by virtue of its ability to stand and grow for years. Further the tree has always been a symbol of knowledge in our culture.
The font has been chosen for its modern yet clean look. It brings forth the no-nonsense attitude required for a finance company. The font though modern has a sense of dependability to it.
The use of green emphasises the concept of growth and the corporate brown and grey are serious and in sync with the image of dependability, integrity and security.
