The new logo evolves from the brand’s original leaf symbol, preserving a sense of continuity while giving it a deeper meaning. At its core, the logo reflects Elaia’s full-stack approach to investing. Its three stacked shapes represent the different areas of the team, coming together as one connected structure. The composition also subtly forms an “E”, the first letter of Elaia, giving the symbol a distinctive character and creating a clear visual connection to the brand name. Finally, each shape is deliberately cut open, allowing the background to become part of the symbol itself. This interplay between solid and negative space expresses a central idea behind Elaia: bringing clarity to complexity.
