The typography, colour, and presentation stay fixed so the tree marks can be judged on equal terms. The Continuous Circuit remains the current logo; the other four are exploratory concepts for feedback.
Option 01
An abstract half-cedar drawn as one uninterrupted path. It feels precise, technical, and distinctly Cedar Labs.
Strength
Strongest proprietary character and small-size performance.
Tradeoff
The least literal tree at first glance.
Option 02
The traditional flag cedar cropped precisely through its apex, combining recognizable heritage detail with the compact half-tree structure.
Strength
Bridges the current half-tree composition with Lebanese cedar detail.
Tradeoff
More intricate at small sizes than the current line mark.
Option 03
A newly drawn half cedar with broad layered branches, a solid spine, and a visible half-stump, simplifying the flag-derived botanical detail.
Strength
Balances recognizable cedar character with more distinctive brand geometry.
Tradeoff
Less literal than the traditional cedar and still merits trademark clearance.
Option 04
The traditional, highly detailed cedar silhouette used on the Lebanese flag, adapted as a monochrome brand mark.
Strength
The clearest connection to Lebanese cedar heritage.
Tradeoff
Its flag-faithful detail needs more care at small sizes.
Option 05
A slender, irregular cypress silhouette inspired by the trees lining winding roads through the Tuscan landscape.
Strength
Most refined vertical silhouette and premium character.
Tradeoff
The species is less directly connected to the Cedar Labs name.
