About the Saint Sophie's Logo

The primary element of the icon is composed of mirrored S's that form the shape of a tree. The tree represents shelter, strength, stability, and growth. Just as the tree goes through seasonal changes, human lives go through stages and changes of circumstance. And as the tree relies on its roots to get through each season and greet the spring with fresh greenery, people need a support system to help them through trying times so that they can emerge renewed, stronger, and more grounded.

Another major element of the design is the leaves. The leaves represent change, hope, and promise. They add color and variety to the overall design and subtly connect the changing of seasons with the ever-changing stages of mental illness and recovery.

The circle represents protection and safe haven, and serves to tie the design together visually and provide stability and continuity.

  • Dark Green - compassion, empathy, health, and life
  • Dark Blue - stability and trust
  • Gold - hope, energy, sense of humor
  • Red - change, enthusiasm, power, and strength

The overall design is warm, inviting, and protective. It is hopeful, strong, and universally relatable. Both clients and the general public will recognize the inviting culture of the business and will remember its icon for years to come.
