SAULART is a Latvia based creatives collective, specializing in event organization, psychedelic decorations, visual arts, music, dance, performance etc.
Concept
SAULART = Saule (“Sun” lat.) + Art
Task: visualize Saulart’s essential mood in a symbol, might incorporate design motifs already made by the collective members, express event atmosphere hosted by.
Mood: psychedelic, chill, sacral geometry, string art, playful, colorful, art + craft.

Yet the crew wanted it more “solar”.
Swoosh change
A vector from crew member had been received, edited and used as the new symbol.
New proportion would emphasize the “solar” aspect, text being a kind of “flare” to the symbolic “sun”.
