DESIGN NAME: Borboleta
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brand System
INSPIRATION: The main concept were: union, rebirth, transformation and modernism. The design team took the image of a butterfly that universally represents a symbol of powerful transformation, change, hope and renewal. The isotype is common to both brands and shows three significant colors, two representing the companies and the third representing the future.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The design team achieved the goal of develop a new brand for two different companies that belonged to the same owner group. Dislub and Equador are gas station nets that operates in Northeast and North of Brasil respectively; working independently one respect of the other, and from now on they'll show the same image but mantaining his own name. That was the design challege: to give one logo for two related, but at the same time independent and completely different brands; using color, shapes and same graphic structure to get the work done.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: By sharing both companies the same symbol a clear link will make the client's mind connect both companies as one.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: The design team began working in the second quarter of 2017 and the complete project was finished and approved to Dislub Equador Board of Directors in December of the same year. During the first quarter of 2018 the design team continued working with all the applications of the new brand.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The isotype, the more characteristic element of the logo, represents a butterfly: a symbol strongly associated with nature, but also express a certain degree of Brazilian national spirit, therefore, the isotype also resembles the silouhette of the Brazilian territory. In addition the design team choose an unique color, purple, that represents the union of the two companies and sets them apart from the competitors in gas station market.
CHALLENGE: The design team faced the challenge of representing two different brands with the same image but keeping both individualities, and instructed to present a well-adjusted solution for both brands with neither one being more important than the other. The team had to honor the previous colors so they identified the most representative one for each brand and added a third one to symbolize the union of both companies.
