«everything in this world changes so should design» (van Nes, 2012).
The Naturalness, the Dynamism, the Organic, the Actions and the Inclusion are essential fundamentals, therefore it is necessary a branding that shows all of these concepts.
The main design evokes the concept of tattoos, that not only express it as a visual art, also it carrys a deep meaning as the organic and naturalness of the decisions of life and changes that each one lives. The use of laurels settle the design, glorifying the meaning and express the freedom, that this sanctuary claims.
The logotype is the fixed component of dynamic branding that provides identity. The typographic choice was made considering the concepts of Commitment, Struggle and Responsibility, given by the serif slab, its weight and structure; searching the tattoo style and organicity with the curvilinear axis.
The essential element to complete the entire identity design are the laurels, enhancing the
concept of tattoo and their meaning of glorification and freedom, visually balancing the logo and providing a representative element that you can use in other contexts.
Animals are the protagonists of the Sanctuary and the most important part in branding. These animals, that represents the organic and mutable concepts, are illustrated figuratively, keeping the simplicity of his features and portraying them with modulated black lines, appropriating the style of traditional tattoos.
Its look are focused on the front, to make a relationship with the observer.

«Being vegan just gives you such great karma.» (Alicia Silvestone).
The Sanctuary has made several campaigns to raise money. Some vegan tattoo artists has donated their works and time, participating in Flash Day Tattoos for it.
Also, there is a current campaign about the adoption of roosters that were used for cockfights. These roosters are docile and good with people and other kind of animals, but in the Sanctuary, they have to live in a cage, because they have been trained to kill other roosters and can't live together in them same space. Please, stop cockfighting!
