This was a challenging logo to develop, as the client typically works with governments and industry but uses engagement techniques that emphasize a holistic approach to organizational decision making—techniques far more often found in therapeutic situation or seminars on personal empowerment. The logo needed to emphasize "soft" ideas about bringing people together, movement, engagement, systemic change, harmony, and continuity, but also signal that CE Holmes is strongly focused on the corporate world.
The resulting mark is based upon a never-ending shape such as the 'infinity' symbol: a visual puzzle depicting the movement and continuity of all things. Also suggested are a meditation pendant or prayer stone and (more practically) the "CE" in the corporate name. Two different weights of Nobel, a geometric typeface with perfectly circular bowls, counters, and loops, was chosen to complement.
