For this logo redesign, I wanted to incorporate aspects of the former brand identity and original logo while also creating
something new and unique. I noticed that there was a lot of movement in the original Pelican logo, however I felt that it
wasn’t working with the brand’s core values. Pelican prides itself in protective, strong and durable cases, so I wanted to
reflect this sense of grounded strength and durability in my logo and font choices. I chose to use a wide, stable font that
has a similar lineweight to the original font but without the italics. It is grounded, but also wide like the horizon. This represents
the nature and environmental aspects of the brand, as well as their values which are rooted in sustainability and protection
from nature’s tough elements. When creating the logo, I pictured how Pelicans and other birds use their wings to shelter
and protect their young.

The wing represents protection, as well as strength. It is well-balanced, simple and stable, unlike the previous logo. This is
exactly what Pelican stands for; protection that is built to last. The colour palette is inspired by the dark blues and greens of
water, forests and the icy terrain that is beautifully contrasted with the fiery oranges of a pelican’s beak.
