A name, a circle and some lines. Three choices that convey the same message as what we teach.
THE NAME
‘Geólatra’ combines two Greek roots: geo, the earth, and latry, veneration. A geólatra is someone who venerates the earth — someone who observes it closely, learns to interpret it and, having come to know it, cares for it. The name does not describe a service: it denotes a way of looking at things.
THE CIRCLE
It is the Earth and, at the same time, a fragment of land seen from above, as one might look at a map or a model. The green ring surrounding it is the forest that sustains it: just as the pastureland and the chestnut grove surround each of these curves.
THE LINES
These are contour lines: the diagram used to interpret the topography of a place. They originate from Cerro del Castaño, the second-highest peak in the Sierra de Aracena and Picos de Aroche Natural Park. It is the hill directly opposite us: the first one we see when we look out at the horizon from the windows of our house. Drawing its contours meant starting with what we see every day. Interpreted differently, those same curves are the rings of time — the age of a tree, the layers of a rock. A single line serves to measure a mountain and to count the years.
COLOURS
Terracotta, the colour of the earth: clay, iron oxide, the warm soils of the Sierra. It is Geólatra’s signature shade within the Holística Nature range.
Forest green, the colour of the parent brand and of the chestnut grove that frames the area.
Off-white, the light that traces the relief: the line on the map and the bone of the stone.
This logo is not a brand superimposed on a landscape: it is the landscape itself turned into a brand. Getting to know a place is a way of looking after it.
