KIO is a wellness brand that provides Chinese Medical products for health and skincare. The logo design deconstructs the Chinese name. Spike (?), flat (?) and round (?) shapes are the three elements underlying the formation of nature and all living beings. When the three elements are in perfect balance, the word "?" is formed.
