LOGO & SYMBOLISM
The inspiration for VEG comes from the company’s previous logo. The triangle has been deconstructed in order to suggest that each of the three sharp, discontinuous lines belong to the acronyms from the name. Moreover, the triangle’s position symbolizes the idea of going up (“to the top”) and of constant evolution.

Typography is a powerful brand tool when used consistently. The two primary typefaces represent the bold and modern feel of the brand and should be used primarily by the branding team and design partners. Expletus Sans is a display typeface, which means that it is not recommended for long pieces of text. Raleway is an elegant sans-serif typeface family intended for headings and body texts.
