Our logo, values and vision
We have a set of values and a vision which steer us to ensure we are always doing the very best we can.
Our logo encompasses these values and our vision
​
Our Logo
​
We have create a logo which is full of metaphor and meaning. It reflects our roots, our values and what we strive to achieve. Our logo sums up Inward Adventures in one short explanation.
The Green Puzzle Piece and the Globe:
These are Links back to a life as a Royal Marines Commando.
The colour green is taken from the Coveted Green Beret. A symbol which is earned through hard work and the application of a set of values and an ethos to create a dedicated and professional individual.
The Commando spirit learnt from the Royal Marines remain central to Inward Adventures’ own values and vision, and it is this spirit that guides our work in supporting you and your Adventure.
The globe, particular the Eastern hemisphere, is taken from the cap badge of the Royal Marines. Inward Adventures includes this in the logo as inspiration for locations to travel to, explore and have an Adventure in. Adventures can be found anywhere you choose to have one, from the deepest ocean to the highest mountain to your own back yard, you choose to be the Adventure anywhere in the world!
The Blue Puzzle Piece and the river and mountains:
we know that colours can mean different things to people.
In our model of the world blue is a cool and relaxed colour.
The blue puzzle piece is included to represent the calm and relaxed spaces and feelings we can experience during an adventure, be it enjoying the amazing views from the top of a hill to floating peacefully on a calm gentle river to being mindful in a beautiful woodland safely enjoying the experience with likeminded, relaxed people and staff.
Rivers and mountains have been used as metaphores for thousands of years and can represent the journeys, challenges and achievements we all experience.
Your Adventures could provide exciting challenges, reflective moments, powerful lessons and amazing achievements!
We can enjoy these spaces and times together in a mixture of terrain and environment, safe and supported.
The Orange Puzzle Piece and the fire:
In our model of the world Orange represents the high energy emotions we can feel during our adventure, such as excitement or adrenaline.
It can also remind us of warmth, comfort and safety when we spend time with others in amazing places having amazing Adventures.
Since its creation fire has been a symbol of safety, light and warmth. A fire place has been used for meeting and greeting, sharing stories and lessons and investing in others time and development. We aim to create a space and environment which is as safe and supportive as it possibly can be and to focus on supporting your time and development so you can be the very best version of yourself that you can be, and you can go on to share your amazing stories and experiences with others. Come and write and be your story with us around our fire.
The Red Puzzle Piece and the strap line,
“You Are The Adventure”!
This piece is to represent you. To us the red represents the negative emotions we can experience when we feel overwhelmed.
I wonder what colour you would choose?
The last puzzle piece, and our strap line, go together. Inward Adventures can’t sell you anything because you are the product.
You are the product of all of your own experiences right up to this moment, you have travelled a unique journey, one that no one can ever judge, and you have been on an adventure since your very first day.
What we offer is a space and time for you to come and experience your Adventure and learn more about yourself, which you can then take back and apply to your other challenges.
Red could represent high level energy, something powerful, which is something you can be even more of!
You are the adventure so come and be it in the amazing places we can take you to in the outdoors. Learn with us, develop with us and lets all be an amazing adventure together!
