Values

RuralRevive seeks to address two pressing global challenges: Climate Change and Inclusivity. A corresponding set of values was formulated by the Steering Committee and provides the DNA of the project going forward.

Crafting a RuralRevive identity was inspired by these values which shape the vision for the future of this rural community. The resulting logo takes its cue from a national road sign indicating a change of road surface, which occurs at Maltahöhe and is why it is well known as being “where the tar road ends, and the gravel road starts”. It was a fitting point of departure for the development of a logo to symbolise a “change of status”. 

Identity

The prominent T-junction as you pass through Maltahöhe found its way into the logo, marking an analogy with the crossroads we face as humanity – the choices we must make to ensure that people and planet thrive in harmony. At the bottom of the crossroad is a straight line, indicating just continuing with a ‘business as usual’ approach, whereas the top of the crossroads depicts a completely balanced and interconnected system. Additionally, this mimics the distinction between a linear vs circular economy, with the latter being a necessary paradigm shift.

The five colours in the dots represent the Wolwedans 5Cs sustainability framework.

 The nine interconnected points represent the different RuralRevive project activities to be developed over the coming years, step by step and in the spirit of a public-private-partnership.
