But as is always the case, logo development is not a simple matter. So we started with a special 10-year logo.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-1-1-e1580738710548.png\" alt=\"phase gr\u00fcn Logo Zeitstrahl von 2008 bis 2019\" class=\"wp-image-4459\" width=\"585\" height=\"298\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-1-1-e1580738710548.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-1-1-e1580738710548-768x391.png 768w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-1-1-e1580738710548-585x298.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<p>Over the next few years, we continued to work on the topic of the logo. What should the new one do better than the previous one? The three shades of green should definitely stay, as they stand for the basic idea \u2013 to bring our clients into the green area. Analogous to the traffic light from red to yellow to green, i.e. from light to dark green. However, the three small squares were not really emotional or memorable. So we needed something new, something emotional with an unmistakable recognition effect, no matter what context the logo icon is used in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>  <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large is-resized\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-2-1-e1580739450889.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4460\" width=\"585\" height=\"306\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-2-1-e1580739450889.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-2-1-e1580739450889-768x401.png 768w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-2-1-e1580739450889-585x306.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 585px) 100vw, 585px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p> <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After various <a href=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/design\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">designs<\/a> with the three shades of green \u2013 sometimes in a line, sometimes as a kind of cloverleaf and in many other variations \u2013 it After various designs with the three shades of green \u2013 sometimes in a line, sometimes as a kind of cloverleaf and in many other variations \u2013 it became increasingly clear that something different was needed. What could be more obvious than a cat&#8217;s head? Since our agency cat is already an idea generator, it was a perfect solution \u2013 emotional and connected to the agency. After countless sketches, our new phase gr\u00fcn logo was created in a 3D look. And we have proved in many ways over the past five years that this icon has what it takes.<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"730\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-3-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4475\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-3-1.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-3-1-768x479.png 768w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-3-1-585x365.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1170\" height=\"412\" src=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-4-e1580739033675.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4462\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-4-e1580739033675.png 1170w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-4-e1580739033675-768x270.png 768w, https:\/\/www.phasegruen.de\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2020\/02\/Beitragsbilder-Logo-4-e1580739033675-585x206.png 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1170px) 100vw, 1170px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Image:<br>phase gr\u00fcn &#8211; all graphics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A logo, either picture or type-based, is a visual component of the branding of products.
