Concept:
Tara is a luxury wellness center that believes in helping overwhelmed people find their guiding star - their Dharma- , and live a life with purpose. Tara means star in India. The center offers experiences that awaken all five senses, tied to the five points of the star, with spiritual and physical practices like meditation in nature, yoga, tai chi, nutrition, music, olfactory treatments, and more. The branding and visual identity are essential in communicating all of these aspects and the luxurious attention to quality that the center provides. Work: The work began by crafting a concept that will resonate with a wellness center audience and express the sophisticated and luxury atmosphere and service and yet, warm and friendly.

The logo
Tagline: Find your inner spark
Integrating all dimensions of being human.
The logo of the wellness center draws inspiration from the 7 chakras working together in harmony. According to Indian philosophy, aligning the chakras promotes physical and spiritual balance, which can lead to a sense of wellbeing. The center offers a range of practices to enhance the wellbeing of its clients.
Additionally, the logo also incorporates the STAR element, with "TARA" meaning "star" in Hindi. The multiple points of the star represent the many dimensions of human existence. Ultimately, the goal is to help individuals rediscover their inner spark and achieve a sense of wholeness.
