Think of Soln not as the sun itself, but as the feeling the sun creates: softened light, quiet mornings, warmth on your skin, open space, and calm presence.The logo should reflect this subtle meaning — not an illustrated sun, not a graphic cliché, but something elevated, emotional, and refined.Target AudienceSoln’s target audience includes design-conscious travelers and property owners who value quality, aesthetics, and experience over price-driven decisions.Our guests are typically: • professionals • creatives • remote workers • entrepreneurs • couples and small groups • urban dwellers seeking escape • travelers who appreciate architecture, interior design, and curated environments • people who choose experiences based on atmosphere, not just amenitiesThey prefer: • boutique hotels over big chains • thoughtfully designed spaces over generic rentals • calm environments over party destinations • experiences that feel intentional, warm, and elevatedEmotionally, they are drawn to: • beauty • quiet luxury • minimalist design • comfort with edge • authenticity • restoration, not chaosOur property owner clients are: • design-forward investors • high-end homeowners • hosts who care deeply about presentation and guest experience • people who see their property as a brand, not just a listingThey want: • strong visual identity • premium positioning • a brand that reflects quality and care • something that feels modern, calm, and elevated rather than corporateSoln’s aesthetic should resonate with people who follow: • design • architecture • travel • modern lifestyle brands • Scandinavian and European-inspired aesthetics • luxury wellness and hospitality brands
