Entry Description

Equilibrium Capital is a financial services firm focusing on sustainability-driven investments in real assets including energy, transportation, land, agriculture, real estate, and water. The mirrored forms create a distinctive and proprietary "E" for equilibrium, symbolizing natural systems in balance. The curves evoke the motion and flow of dynamic equilibrium and their upward orientation conveys investor growth. The symbol's blue and green colors represent water and land, respectively. Each of the company’s investment sectors is distinguished by a meaningful symbol and an appropriate light/dark color scheme to convey balance and equilibrium, creating individual icons which retain a strong family look.
