Actualise Logo
This description was written by my graphic designer. "The Actualise logo represents the upward movement and change that Actualise is able to facilitate. The outside arrow throws a shadow which is indicative of the added dimension that Actualise can provide to individuals or groups in providing upward change". Personally, I like the colours….
Actualise - Defined
I chose the name Actualise because I loved the definition; 1. to make actual or real. 2. to represent realisitically. Both aspects of this definition are appropriate to the business. We are about about making a difference (to make actual) and we absolutely value our integrity (to represent realistically).
The Spider Web
The spider web was chosen as a graphic after reading the work of Margaret Wheatley. It represents the myriad of connections we have with each other. There is a randomness and a basic pattern in spider webs. They are strong and flexible. They are easily broken and easily repaired. They can be widespread or very small.
