A practice with a name and no mark

Auralaya teaches yoga and sound healing in Charlotte, North Carolina. In 2025 its one-page website set the name in plain capitals, with no mark. In September 2025 it asked us for a logo for its yoga, Reiki, sound healing and shop.

About a dozen directions

Our designer drew about a dozen directions before one was chosen. They ran from a seated figure, stacked stones and a sun rising over a bowl to a name in script and two curves in several layouts. That September our founder chose the curves to finish.

The working sheet of logo directions: a seated figure, stacked stones, a sun over a bowl, a script name, the two curves beside and inside the name, and a grid of nine small marks

Two curves round a star

The mark is two mirrored curves that close into a circle round a four-pointed star, set beside the name in capitals. It comes in three versions: across, stacked, and the mark alone in a deep green circle.

The primary logo: the curved mark with its star, beside AURALAYA in deep green capitals on white

One sheet for the brand

The final files were ready in September 2025, with one guide sheet. It sets five colours, from a deep green to sand, cream and sage, each with its code. It names two typefaces: IvyOra Display for headings and Poppins for text.

The guide sheet: the primary logo, the stacked logo, the mark in a deep green circle, and five colour swatches with their codes

The logo outlived the website

We then built Auralaya its first WordPress website on a bought template, styled to the brand, and it went live on 10 October 2025. In June 2026 another studio rebuilt the site with its own colours and type. The October 2026 evidence showed our logo retained at the top of the rebuilt site.
