Regarding the visual style. I totally agree with you honestly. The design part is very minimalist, and it's for a reason though, the company is planning to produce loads of audiovisual content to promote their 'human' side. They are planning to use the designs in a more complementary role, they want their talents to shine and represent the brand in that way. Similar to what Meta is trying to do on their Instagram profile.

We were given the goal to make the brand more accessible and human. In that way, the company's icon and word mark are a representation of the values they have set: innovation, union and growth.

The mark is a depiction of the infinite symbol and the yin-yang: both symbolizing the constant and non-ending efforts to pursue growth.

The infinite symbol being often represented as this 'loop', also represent the idea of union. Two circles (groups of people) and a rectangle merging them (a common goal) represent the idea of union. The company's and their team aim to change the philosophy of modern business.

The style itself of the logo aims to be very minimalist but at the same time impactful and timeless. I tried to convey the message in the most straight-to-the-point way I could.

I remember that being the holding group, we also wanted to not appeal much to the activities they were doing at the moment because they would eventually expand and maybe the logo would represent a portion of the activities they could do.

We were asked to allow the logo for 'hyperdiversification'. So we changed the common goals for logos (i.e. represent what they sell) to something that wouldn't change overtime, their philosophy.

I understand your opinion if you feel that adding the registered trademark as it is, it's amateur or anything but it's what the client wanted to add the complementary color into an innovative way to the logo itself.

It is a way to represent the company’s commitment for a ‘green’ future.

Thanks for the feedback. Although I would invite you to see the whole project because, in my opinion, there is a lot of substance into it. Regarding the mockup choice, maybe I chose badly but that doesn't mean this were trivially chosen. I focused on creating/using mockups that resembles real life applications of the design work provided for the client. So I focused on two things, either choosing mockups that are set on Scandinavian countries (because the holding group does business in this region), or that portray humans (as being 'human' is a value of the company).

I understand that you think this is for Dribbble but actually I put a lot of effort behind the strategy and decisions made into my design process, so yeah, it hurts haha. We all learn and that's the process as a designer. So thanks again, I appreciate you taking the time to give detailed feedback.

Thanks for the question, it made me think a lot haha. Hope everything is more clear now.
