New Logo Symbolizes Namaste's Evolution

VANCOUVER, May 15, 2018 /CNW/ - From its humble beginnings as an online reseller of vaporizers, Namaste Technologies grew into a leading online retailer with nine offices and over thirty e-commerce sites around the globe. The company went through a fast-paced evolution with initiatives that continue to attract and impress those who follow the company's development. In the past several years, Namaste engaged world class tech talent, designed the first cannabis telemedicine app approved by Apple in Canada, secured coveted cannabis production and distribution licenses from Health Canada, and acquired a leading Swedish AI company to elevate its already venerated customer experience. Namaste's progressive transformation is pronounced in its new design.

Every detail of the Namaste identity was reworked to pave the path for the company's bold steps into the future. The new design addresses the needs of the digital platforms and gives different brands under the Namaste umbrella one coherent, visual look.

The designers revitalized the brand with an iconic symbol that crosses over to new divisions and ties the existing brand extensions together. The lotus flower of the original logo symbolized Namaste's holistic values and inspired the new icon. The designers created a modernized, electrified, and much more dimensional version of the lotus flower which reflects Namaste's transformation as a company. The invisible circle around the lotus flower becomes visible in an arch above it. This arch functions as a visual cue that brings together the various Namaste entities, brands, and its team, all spread across four continents.

The color palette was modified meticulously with a tight selection of turquoise, blue, and green tones to reflect the values of trust, transparency, tranquility, and wellness. The addition of fuchsia represents the edge and technology that the Namaste team brings to the fold.

Namaste's new appearance sharpens the impact of its individual aspects by giving them a new and modern element, while the new typeface brings lightness and elegance that meets the requirements of tomorrow's digital world. The text is clear and easy to read on mobile devices and smartwatches.

Beyond Vaporizers | Epic Legacy of Innovation

The new brand hopes to encapsulate all that Namaste stands for: ethical decisions, innovation, community driven approach, and breaking down social norms while promoting the legalization of cannabis worldwide. Namaste is staying focused on customer satisfaction where the company is always in the top one percent of online companies' customer-rated review scores. Namaste is instantly recognizable as a trustworthy vaporizer source and as it becomes everything cannabis, the new family of logos now allows customers to easily recognize each division as part of the trusted Namaste brands.
