Logo Construction
The logo consists of a single curve connecting the initials in Eau Claire Consulting, ECC. A single curve is purposeful yet gentle - it depicts the importance of a clear path and flow.The concept behind the logo draws inspiration from waves in natural waters, but not in a predictable way. Its negative space creates a graceful visual illusion.Finally, the curved shape resembles a personal signature, suitable for a consulting business, reinforcing the quality of Mary’s work.
