It all started with an idea...

A short, interactive guide helped them discover their design style and clearly captured what they needed.

Needs

For my new site I am looking for a logo & branding which can be easily used for emails and business cards. I live in Amsterdam but the idea is that I move in a few years to France or somewhere else...

This logo has to be international!

Company description

The site will explain what sophrology is, who I am and what I can offer.

Developped in the 1960's by a Spanish medical Neuro-Psychiatrist, DR. Alfonso CAYCEDO, this training of SOPHROLOGY aims to bring a better awareness of the relationship between MIND and BODY in a positive way. The idea is to be both calm and alert in the middle of our modern fast-paced very full life. Sophrology is often thought of being a relaxation technique but it is only one of the tools we use.

The method is highly utilised in sports by TOP ATHLETES, in medical fields (physiotherapist,midwives, doctors) and in others fields such as business, art....

A regular training will give people the abilities to feel quickly the effect of the practice : stronger resistance to stressful situations, enhancing performances and enjoying well-being!

Sophrology is helpful and efficient for
.self development
.stimulating creativity
.management of stress
.recovery from burn out
.energising motivation
.enhancing concentration
.stimulating memory
.coping with phobia
.preparing forthcoming event ( birth, surgery, exam, sport competition)
.dealing with insomnias
.reducing anxious behaviours

Sophrology can very aptly be described as a technique restoring balance in our body, mind and spirit.

Target group

- companies (stress prevention and reduction)
- hospitals (cancer patients for instance)
- schools (exames)
- doctors
- psychologists
- sportschools
- nursing homes voor the elderly (activity)
- private individuals

Colors, favourites and other requirements

This logo has to give a feeling of harmony, calm, serenity. It has to be simple, chic, modern, creative, with round forms and soft colours. Please, no lotus flower which is very often related to meditation or yoga, unless you have to guess it is a lotus flower...

I plan to put pictures of drops on the homepage so it is important that the colours fit together (see attached doc). But please, no logo with drops!

I suggest you take a look at this French site because I like both the logo (colours, shape) and the site
http://www.paris-sophro.com

The name will be
Sophrasan (abbreviation for Sophro Santé in French)
and under I plan to add
"body and mind in harmony" in order to explain what sophrology offers

Sophrosan
body and mind in harmony (smaller letters)

Good luck!!!
