Refining the brand elements and interfaces
Problem
The logo is not proportionate. The text size is very small compared to the wide logo background. This makes the text illegible on scaling down the logo size.


Refining the logo
Adjusted the aspects ratio of the envelop with the wing. Enlarged the text and moved the text to the right to make it legible. The intent here is to make the logo fit correctly in every medium without losing its originality.
