You may be interested to know a bit more about UK-MaRes Hub’s logo.

The Hub worked with KitStudio to establish its identity to reflect a need for change for the sector. Taking inspiration from maritime signal flags which are used to convey important messages that transcend language barriers, and traditional crests and heraldry, our logo was born. The distinctive design features signal flag icons relating to ‘danger ahead’ and ‘change course,’ symbolising the threats posed by maritime emissions and the urgent need for a new direction to achieve net zero goals.

The custom colour palette reflects a ‘fresh approach’ to maritime decarbonisation featuring bright, vivid shades of ‘Bright Horizon’ blue and ‘Dazzle Ship’ yellow. These are partnered with 3 other shades of blue with topical names such as ‘Deep Ocean’ navy, ‘Sea Glass’ turquoise and ‘Sea Mist’ blue, with the palest colour in the palette being a very pale grey called ‘Sea Foam’ white.
