Name

The name of BIG BERRY represents these two words:

  1. BIG”, which represents the big story behind this project, destination, spacious area and globally scalable business model. This word also means that BIG BERRY wants to grow and spread in new locations over time.

Logo

BIG BERRY´s cheerful logo has a form of a circle, because this is the most perfect form which you can find in the nature. It has no breaks, symbolizes smile, luck, eternity and connection between people. It represents the energy which never stops but is continually renewed. And, most of the berries are also round-shaped. The name “BIG BERRY” is written in red violet corporate color.

The words are connected with two points on the right and on the left side, but what exactly do they mean? Two points between the words “BIG” and “BERRY” are easily associated with inclined smiley, which gives the logo a friendly and cheerful appearance. The inclination of the logo reminds of a stamp for homemade products but also of a stamp for best quality guarantee. All the features of the logo represent an authentic spirit of the brand.

 

Slogan

BIG BERRY’s slogan - „LUXURY OF FREEDOM“ - is composed of two strong and powerful words. “LUXURY” is associated with wealth, comfort, superior quality, but also with rigidity, order and urbanity, while “FREEDOM” is connected to peace, happiness, leisure, nature and limitless possibilities.

BIG BERRY connects the luxury of un ultimate accommodation comfort with freedom and peace of a holidays in a non-stressful environment. Even though our slogan represents something different for each person –  it always makes them think about life, how sheer freedom is actually a luxury on its own and therefore it always contributes to the positive feeling which is ultimately BIG BERRY’s goal.

 

Elevator peach

A genuine living experience entirely integrated into a local environment. BIG BERRY’s elevator peach represents everything the brand is about – it actually gives a genuine living experience – a lifestyle not just a holiday and an authentic feel to the guests since it is so well integrated into the local environment.

It basically creates a win – win – win situation. To the guests BIG BERRY offers a unique, local and authentic experiences that they couldn’t have otherwise.

Corporate colour

BIG BERRY has its own corporate colour - red violet. It is the main brand color from which all the others used in a brand elements derive.

It is the most common berry colour in nature and that's why BIG BERRY chose it. Also, the berries with this colour contain a lot of vitamins and other healthy ingredients. And it gives a fresh feeling to the brand.

 

BIG BERRY’s main symbols

The berry button is BIG BERRY’s most recognized element and can be easily incorporated into many different aspects of the brand. The button represents the brand via its various details and try its best to become an easily recognizable item over the internet. It will bring you much information along with some nice photos taken at number of destinations.

Red – violet line

BIG BERRY houses have a red-violet vertical stripe on its side as a BIG BERRY recognition sign which makes the house look like a box of chocolate with a wrap or a Christmas gift. And this is how BIG BERRY wants for you to feel when you see it.

We believe that our houses are so different that we want them to be seen from far distances, for this we added the charming strip which gives a special touch and character to our houses. It also relates to our brand color and reminds people of our branding.

Berries

Berries are the healthiest fruits within all fruits. BIG BERRY knows that quite well. For this reason there is a berry plantation with 40 sorts of berries in BIG BERRY Kolpa river in Slovenia. Everyone can stroll along the plantation and pick any round fruit that is ready for eating or even pick enough to make a fresh smoothie.

Berries are 100% natural product and every one of them includes a lot of vitamin A, C, calcium, iron, potassium etc. Some of them have an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial and detoxifying effects.
