Logo

Using various shades of green, Viet Nature’s logo presents the organization’s mission to strive to halt the loss of biodiversity in Vietnam, conserve the integrity and diversity of nature, working with people towards sustainability in the use of natural resources, enhancing Vietnamese people’s quality of life and ensuring the country’s sustainable development.

The artwork was developed by Mr. Petr Vorasicky, a graphic designer and artist living in Prague, Czech Republic. “The pattern of the veins on the leave is always inspiring because it represents life and the way nature works. Human is just a part of nature and we need to respect the way nature embrace lives on this earth,” Petr explained his idea of using the vein pattern of the leaf in this logo.
