Visual
identity

The logo of Geotechmin OOD was created by the designer Veselin Pentchev in 1991. The original idea for this logo included an auger and a geological hammer woven into the Latin letters G, T and M – an abbreviation of GeoTechMin. Subsequently, the company’s founders chose a logo uniting the Latin letter G, which symbolizes the Earth, and an auger-shaped element pointing to the Earth’s centre. The first syllable in the company name is also associated with the Earth, as Geo- is a prefix derived from Greek and Latin, meaning “Earth”. The choice of a company name and logo was based on Geotechmin’s initial activity – geological exploration and consulting services in the mining sector.
