Strategy
The logo features a compass needle that's split in two. The left side is only an outline with a blank fill, while the right side has a solid fill. The compass needle is a symbol for direction and movement. In the middle of the compass needle is two half circles forming a complete circle. The left side has a filled half circle, while the right side has a half circle in the negative space. This complete circle represents the two sides of the case. The filled and empty contrast is a symbol of balance and completion.
