The Al Mar Suites logo is essentially about sustainability, modernity and simplicity of this boutique hotel located in Brazil. The straight and contemporary lines match the hotel's architecture, and combined with the organic design that refers to the waves of the sea, this logo is clean, direct and effectively conveys the feeling of calm and lightness of this Brazilian beach. The sand color was also chosen to allude to the environment and to match all the decorative and aesthetic elements of the hotel.

Production Technology
For this logo, everything started with a hand drawing, to understand the typography style created and whether the combination of straight lines would work with the wave design. After that, the design was vectorized and all the alignment and framing was adjusted so that the logo was completely symmetrical.
Design Challenge
The biggest challenge of this project was to create something that made sense within the context of the hotel’s location without actually knowing the city in which it is built. Being 2400 km away from the hotel, advanced research into the city and regional peculiarities was of great importance in uniting the hotel’s concept with its beach of origin.
Project Duration
The project started in january 2023 in Curitiba, for the hotel in Praia do Forte. The hotel opened in December 2023.
Operation Flow
The logo has a simple shape and is easy to apply. It can be used in countless ways and easily understood by the public.
Research
For this project, the research needed to be done online and with interviews with the hotel partners. It was also necessary to work with an analysis of the architectural project in progress, as well as items from the initial inspiration panel to create a unified communication throughout the structure. The creation was made with the active participation of the partners who were in Bahia. The main objective was to create a logo that was clean, with a modern look and yet with the beach atmosphere of the region.
Inspiration
The inspiration of this project was the sand and the calm waves of Praia do Forte, beach where the hotel is build. The modernity and simplicity of the hotel's architecture and decoration were also combined in the creation of the project.
