Brief
A modern, minimalist logo for a tourism website, using Luwuk's icon — the maleo bird.
Solution
A maleo bird in front of a sun and clouds. The clouds sit below the bird, so it appears to fly high — Luwuk is not only beautiful, but also wise and advanced.
Reading the mark
The emblem is meant to be read top to bottom, like a postcard: sky, subject, horizon. Every element is either a solid white shape or a thin white line, so the whole scene holds together in one color.
- 01
A local icon
The maleo is the bird people already associate with the region, so the logo needs no explanation to locals.
- 02
Placement tells the story
Putting the clouds lower than the bird is the whole message: it is flying high.
- 03
A contained shape
The scene sits inside a rounded square, so it works as a social-media avatar or site icon without redrawing.
Color & variants
Because the drawing is built from white shapes and thin lines, it converts cleanly to a single color — an outlined version for light backgrounds and an inverted one for dark.
