Gulf Winds: The International Logistics Specialists
Meaning of Gulf Winds Logo
Since opening our doors in 1996, Gulf Winds has experienced incredible growth. In 2010, Gulf Winds made the decision to update our company logo with an image that represented where we have come from and who we have become.
Business Meaning
Gulf Winds new logo is based on a Native American symbol for wind, which is the diamond. The diamond is green thereby maintaining our original color and a sense of history. Wind represents movement, which relates directly to our core business of managing the transport and distribution of cargo. The early traders depended on the wind to guide their vessels and our clients depend on us to properly handle, distribute and deliver their cargo. A blue circle or globe of water is dropped over the diamond to represent international commerce. Geographically, the globe supports our core business of managing the transport and distribution of international and domestic cargo. There are white lines surrounding the diamond and exiting the logo from all four corners of the globe. These white lines represent international trade and point to our ability to move domestic and international cargo in all geographic directions. The color selections of green and blue will tell our clients that we are committed to environmental stewardship.
Biblical Meaning
No doubt, the Gospel is the story of Gulf Winds. It is fitting that we will utilize wind and water as the key elements in our new logo. Jesus uses wind in John chapter three to explain the work of God in a person’s heart. “The wind blows where it wishes and you hear the sound of it, but do not know where it comes from and where it is going; so it is with everyone who is born of the Spirit.” (John 3:8) So it has been in the life of our company.
The second primary element of Gulf Winds new logo is water. Throughout scripture, water is used to purify and wash away sin. God used water to flood the earth in the time of Noah as a judgment on sin. The real story here is not the judgment on sin, but the preservation of righteousness in Noah’s family. In the new testament, Jesus states that, “unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God”. (John 3:3) Water baptism is a picture of God’s cleansing work in the heart of a believer. It represents the physical and spiritual cleansing of a person’s soul.
The white lines that separate the wind and water in our logo point north, south, east and west. As Christians, we are called to, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit”. (Matt 28:18) We take the great commission seriously because it has transformed our lives and our company. By God’s grace, we press on to spread the joy of knowing Christ in our community and around the world. This is our most precious core value.
