The first step was the name creation process – Naming.

In addition to in-depth research in the field of psychiatry and psychology, several references cited by clients were gathered. Thus, the research was also based in terms of Buddhism, Latin and Rapa Nui, as they are ancient languages that contain special secrets related to spirituality and human conduct.

After several ideas and a final selection of 9 names, the name “Ânimo” was chosen, which in addition to having a great sound means “Soul” in Latin.

The second stage consisted of the visual creation of the new brand.

One of the ideas was to use the lotus flower and / or the threefold flame in the brand. The lotus flower is a classic symbol of Buddhism, and consequently of mental balance and meditation. The threefold flame represents the vital divine energy that “burns” within our hearts.

This way, the symbol can be seen as a lotus flower, as a triple flame, or even as a meditation pose and as a irradiation of good energies centre, which refers directly to the healing process.
