LvngLove
LvngLove is a feeling that transforms consumers’ behavior in helping other people’s needs. The Logo was designed with the idea of being universal.

The typeface is custom-designed. The logo as a whole incorporates, in a very subtle way, the nature of the development, from every perspective.
