Maya Protege

Maya Protege is a funeral-plan brand built to give families reassurance, care and protection. This is its strategic and visual foundation, the principles that guide the brand (planning, protection, respect) and how strategy and design work as one coherent system, from logo to tone of voice, conveying institutional trust with a human, accessible approach.

Strategy

Maya Protege operates where trust and responsibility are everything. As a funeral plan, the brand had to convey security and organization while keeping a respectful tone close to the families it serves.

The direction was built on balance, institutional solidity paired with a human, accessible approach, avoiding both excessive rigidity and informality. Every branding decision serves one goal: to establish Maya Protege as a contemporary reference in funeral planning, offering guidance, calm and care over time.

Mood board

A balance of everyday life, clarity and institutional calm. Real family scenes, abstract graphic elements and contemporary composition communicate protection without tension and care without drama. Natural light, deep greens, organic forms and structured layouts reinforce stability and continuity, security framed as calm built on planning, not fear or urgency.

Color

The palette communicates confidence, calm and institutional solidity. Greens structure the visual base, care, stability and continuity, with deeper tones as the main background and lighter ones for contrast, hierarchy and visual lightness. A lavender accent appears sparingly for highlights, links and detail, bringing contrast and refinement.

  • Timber Green 950 #0C332A: the deep institutional base.
  • Sea Green 700 #0D9448 / 500 #14D366: the brand greens for presence and contrast.
  • Dull Lavender #A29DFF: the single accent; highlights, links and detail.
  • Timber Green 50 #EFFAF5: the light base for clear, breathable pieces.

Art direction

Trust, care and calm, protection portrayed serenely, without emotional excess or literalism. The imagery treats the funeral plan as a natural part of family planning.

  • Real life and human bonds: Real families across different life stages, in natural, unstaged moments. Soft natural light and authentic expressions that convey warmth and trust.
  • Calm and stability: Organized settings, contained gestures and stable compositions. No harsh contrast, hard shadows or tense framing.
  • Contemporary and respectful: A clean, timeless aesthetic across urban, residential or institutional settings, always professional and accessible.
  • Abstraction and visual system: 3D forms, subtle textures and geometric compositions symbolize protection and continuity, without obvious icons or religious figures.
