The primary objective behind reimagining the DOORLADOOR Digitizing company's logo is to fortify its brand identity. Through intentional design choices, the logo underscores the intrinsic link between capturing timeless memories and the joy of reliving them on screen. This concept is visually encapsulated by employing symbolic elements: heart-shaped visuals, evoking sentiments of love and happiness, and a camera positioned on the screen, symbolizing the act of capturing these cherished moments. Additionally, the incorporation of the company name, Doorladoor, in bold lettering accentuates brand recognition, solidifying the logo as a visual anchor for the brand's values and services.
