About the logo
The Travois logo is a wordmark; bold, eye-catching, and straight-forward. The mirrored A and V contain a diagonal line, representing the triangular shape of a travois.
A travois is a transportation tool used by North American tribes to carry goods, formed by joining two poles. Our name and who we are is demonstrated in our tagline: You know where to go. We’ll pull the weight.
We are your Travois.


Logo lockups
Subsidiary logos are provided for Architecture, Design, Asset Management and Compliance, and New Markets. This allows the departments to be distinct while also part of the Travois brand family.




Logo colors
The logo can be used in several of the brand colors, as long as color accessibility is met (see Accessibility rules under the Colors tab).
The logo should coordinate and match the color used in the designed piece.
Use the black or white logo when you have bright and colorful images, so as to not compete. Use the color logo when the design is text or illustration only and you need an additional pop.






Logo mark
Use when the logo needs to be really small such as in a social media profile picture or a website favicon.
