NEW LOGO

NEW LOGO

Shields/emblems with marine lives represent our mission to protect marine life. The symbol part of this logo is composed of two swimming fish, symbolizing the ocean, corresponding to the keyword “exploration.” The shape of the symbol is a shield, conveying the concept of “conservation” of the marine life. At the same time, the shape of the fish is connected end to end, representing the keyword “connection”, and corresponding to the brand’s initial letter “S”. The wordmark part is paired with a font that looks similar to the symbol part.

GRAPHIC ELEMENTS

The ocean-blue wave shape is a powerful graphic element that tells the SeaWorld story. It derives from the waves on the vast sea. The ocean-blue wave shape can be filled with colors, text, or images, and can help express a broad range of moods, situations, and messages. The shape helps us engage our audiences by containing and showcasing relevant, evocative content.
