Starting from the input provided by the brief, during the design of the logo I focused on the concept of PROTECTION OF HUMAN RIGHTS AT SEA, and on what elements could encapsulate such a vast and complex area of intervention in a concise and symbolic manner.

The linguistic definition of protection is: 

'protective or defensive function'; as well as 'safeguard'. 

I therefore asked myself how one could defend and protect someone or something: the most effective answer - not in absolute terms but in relative terms of contextual functionality - came from actions, from doing. 

I therefore chose the symbol par excellence of doing: hands. Not only that, but also hands that become care, attention, caring. 

It is through the body that we experience the world: through that tangible instrument that becomes a means of action. But hands were not enough: they represented the human being; they had to maintain their meaning but also transform themselves in the scope of the brand that was being formed. 

I therefore chose to stylise them to the extreme and trace them back to a wave that directs, moves, and at the same time contains, supports, welcomes, unites and protects all the people who live the sea.
