Art is the foundation of Restorartive. A customized “r” was used to create a distinct icon.

Vertical stripes in tan, black, and white colors with the words 'Tan,' 'Black,' and 'White' labeled on each stripe.

A minimal yet warm color palette was chosen to compliment the black and white brand photography.
