Clean & Modern: Minimalistic design with a sleek, contemporary look that reflects the simplicity of the brand’s offerings. A modern, user-friendly logo should convey both health and convenience.

Eco-Friendly & Sustainable: Incorporate design elements that subtly reference sustainability and environmental consciousness. For instance, use icons, textures, or patterns that mimic nature (e.g., leaves, grains, or water).

Playful but Sophisticated: The tone should balance a light, approachable feel with the sophistication of premium-quality, health-focused products. Typography and brand elements should be clean but not sterile, with soft edges and rounded fonts to convey warmth and accessibility.
