INSPIRATION
The sail forms the foundation of the identity, representing wind, direction & movement. Its simple geometry creates an immediate connection to the world of sailing.
The sail's softened geometry subtly suggests the folded shape of a paper plane. This dual interpretation introduces a sense of curiosity and play, reinforcing the meaning behind the name SAITA.
A rhythmic wave pattern anchors the symbol, cuing the sensation of gliding effortlessly across the water while adding balance and movement to the composition.
Together, these three elements form a compact symbol that balances precision with playfulness. Rooted in sailing yet inspired by exploration, the mark communicates freedom, movement and the joy of the journey.
