BEHIND THE LOGO
The barn owl, aka. the ghost owl, brings evil in the light of the moon. It symbolizes wisdom, clarity, personality and mystery, traits I try to apply to my work. Everything has meaning and is without coincidence.
The name ‘Diofics’ derives from my given name, ‘Dio’ and ‘fics’, which comes from graphics.
Simplicity makes the shape relatable and recognizable, but a bit mysterious, whilst the color green represents growth and optimism. The eyes look like a sprout (plant), which emphasizes this.
