Exploring the meaning behind the name and logo “Morning Mist” and its connection to Rocio ‘s Indigenous roots.

Capturing Ancestral Belonging through the Logo Design: Symbolism of Mountains, Sacred Spaces, and Stories

I will be sharing the story and meaning behind the logo and name of Morning Mist, which is the English translation of my name Rocio. As an Indigenous person, my logo holds a deep connection to my ancestors and the land they were born on. Through this logo, I wanted to not only represent myself as an individual, but also pay tribute to my heritage and our beliefs as Indigenous people. Join me as we uncover the symbolism and significance behind the Morning Mist logo and how it reflects our strong connection to sacred spaces and stories.

The name "Morning Mist" holds a profound significance in connecting me to my Indigenous roots and heritage. As an Indigenous person, I feel a strong sense of responsibility to reclaim and honor my identity, and the logo of Morning Mist allows me to do just that. It serves as a visual representation of not only myself as an individual but also of my ancestors and the land they were born on.

The name "Morning Mist" reflects the beauty and serenity of nature, symbolizing the mist that blankets the land during the early hours of the day. This connects to our Indigenous beliefs, where the land is viewed as sacred and holds deep spiritual significance. Mountains, sacred spaces, and stories play a crucial role in my culture, acting as a bridge between our past and present. Through the logo design, I aimed to capture this connection to the land and my ancestral traditions.

Moreover, the Morning Mist logo serves as a way for me to inspire and teach the youth about my heritage and family. By showcasing my own cultural identity as an Indigenous entrepreneur, I hope to encourage others to embrace their roots and proudly represent themselves in the business world. Through the logo and brand identity, I aim to emphasize the importance of individuality and representation in the Indigenous community.

As an Indigenous person, capturing the essence of my ancestral belonging through the logo design was of utmost importance. I wanted to incorporate symbolism that would reflect our deep connection to mountains, sacred spaces, and stories.

Mountains hold a special place in our culture, representing strength, resilience, and the enduring spirit of our ancestors. They serve as a reminder of the challenges they faced and the wisdom they passed down to future generations. By including mountains in the logo, I wanted to pay tribute to their sacrifices and honor their legacy.

Sacred spaces are another integral part of our culture, serving as places of spiritual significance and connection to the land. They are spaces where we come together to celebrate our traditions, pass on our knowledge, and strengthen our bond as a community. Through the logo, I aimed to capture the reverence we have for these sacred spaces and convey the importance of preserving them for future generations.

Finally, stories play a crucial role in Indigenous culture. They are a way for us to pass on our history, values, and traditions. The logo design incorporates elements that represent the storytelling aspect of our culture, reminding us of the importance of preserving and sharing our stories.

Through the Morning Mist logo, I hope to reclaim my identity, inspire others to do the same, and teach the youth about the beauty and richness of our heritage. It is a visual representation of our ancestral belonging, symbolizing our connection to the land, mountains, sacred spaces, and stories that have shaped us as a people.

As an Indigenous entrepreneur, the Morning Mist logo and brand identity hold a special significance for me. It goes beyond just representing my business; it is a reflection of my identity and the importance of representing individuality in the Indigenous community.

For too long, Indigenous people have been underrepresented in the business world. Through the Morning Mist logo, I aim to reclaim my identity and inspire others to do the same. By proudly showcasing my cultural heritage as an Indigenous entrepreneur, I hope to encourage others to embrace their roots and represent themselves authentically in their endeavors.

The logo serves as a powerful tool for teaching the youth about our heritage. It shows them that they don't have to conform to mainstream norms to succeed in the business world. They can be proud of their heritage and use it as a source of strength and inspiration. The Morning Mist logo acts as a visual representation of our ancestral belonging and our connection to the land, mountains, sacred spaces, and stories that have shaped us as a people.

In a society that often overlooks or misrepresents Indigenous culture, it is crucial that we take ownership of our identity and show the world the richness and beauty of our heritage. The Morning Mist logo is a small step towards reclaiming our narrative and teaching the world the value of Indigenous knowledge, traditions, and ways of life. Through our representation, we can inspire a new generation of Indigenous entrepreneurs and leaders.

The following are various testimonials that were kindly given to me by several of my generous clients, I’ve decided to post them below to share with everyone!

Your opinions matter so much to me and help me grow! Feel free to leave your own reviews/thoughts in the comments below!

“I have not bought one product from Morning Mist Soap Co that I did not like,

I particularly love their lip balm, lotion bar, and their beard oil for my hair! Would definitely recommend!”

“Absolutely in love with the liquid gold bar, I used as a facial cleanser, leaves my skin feeling clean, soft, and hydrated”

“You live up to your promises and values and I cannot thank you enough for that. Your customer service is amazing, and your products are phenomenal-

Washed my entire body, head to toe, with my desert flower bar.. I smell and feel ridiculously lovely”

“The soap smells amazing, lathers well on my skin, and leaves my skin feeling so soft. I love how I’m able to use the soap as my shampoo.

My daughter loves the lotion bars! We highly recommend and will be ordering more from Morning Mist soap Co.”

I came across Morning Mist Soap Co during the pandemic and have made multiple purchases. I have been so impressed with the results and quality of everything I have tried so far.

My grandmother and dog love the products too. My recent fave is the conditioner. I no longer have tangles or hair falling out in clumps due to my autoimmune disease.

Everything has been a life changer and I am a customer for life. Rocio is always so quick to respond to my questions or just to chat I feel like we’re friends!”

I first ordered the beard balm which is the best I have used. I have had a beard for many years and tried all the balms and oils out there only to be let down.

That was not the case with morning mist soap co. Very unique blend and my beard and hair have never felt better.

She was kind enough to include a sample of her soap too. The Francis blend.. which I cant go without now.”

“I have replaced all my showering products with morning mist products. Since doing so I have noticed a drastic difference in my skin and hair.

I use to have these small bumps on the backside of my arm and since using morning mist soap, they have completely disappeared.

Also my skin is so soft and moisturized! I barley have to use any type of lotion. My hair use to get so oily and limp with regular shampoo and conditioner.

Now it’s so shiny and full of life! These products are life changing!!”

"Rocio’s products are exceptional and a great price for the money. One bar of soap has lasted months and I’m so I’m love with these products.

I am a faithful client. Not all soaps are created equal.”

“Every product seems to be thoughtfully made. The natural scents are amazing. I love how unique the products are.”

“Amazing products. Great customer service. Awesome owner who's ready to answer any questions you have”

“I received some products in a free giveaway and after using a sample size of soap, I immediately went and purchased 3 bars of soap.

Upon opening the package, everything smelled so good, especially the citrus expresso soap and galaxy lover.

I love this company and everything it stands for. I will continue to repurchase for many years!”

“Quality products for a reasonable price. Each scent provides an entire new experience and I will continue to be a loyal customer of Morning Mist Soap Co.”

“Home-made, crafted with wonderful ingredients, sustainable materials and packaging, beautiful family, economically and environmentally smart.

The owner uses and models product and showcases creation, responds quickly and with compassion, just an all around incredible business.”

“Honestly, the quality of the product makes it incredible. I have shared your product with many of my friends and family.

They are always impressed when your product follows through with what I told them. The scents are beautiful and keep me so curious about what’s next and wanting me to order everything.

The smell is so reliable that I am able to use the soap as an air freshener amongst its normal purpose. The scent stays on my skin and I feel completely comfortable using them on my children which is rare.”

“I LOVE the smell and texture of everything! Her soap and bath bombs are unbelievable. Fantastic smelling and kind to very sensitive skin.

I love that I can trust that she does not use fragrance oils because they mess with my allergies big time! Everything I’ve purchased has been extremely high quality and beautifully, promptly shipped.

The only thing that didn’t work for me was the deodorant, but I sweat a LOT when I’m nervous so I didn’t expect it to also work as an antiperspirant.

Overall I would recommend Morning Mist to anyone looking for soap and bath bombs! Can’t wait to try her other products.”

“ I can’t tell you how much I love your products, I am a loyal customer. I buy each scent normally to test the scents so I can regular buy loaves from you. This soap in particular has changed my nightmare routine. I’m embarassed to admit I haven’t had a steady routine especially since becoming a mom and I have been blessed with low demand skin that is usually flawless with neglect. Since having kids that’s all changed and I felt insecure vulnerable and humbled by it, I needed a check in. The yuca soap is so SOFT and FRESH I can FEEEEL the plant gentlesness when I lightly circular wash my face with it. And you do not need much at all!! I use your black magic woman upstairs, flora de la noche in the shower along with soothe me, and both me and my husband loves the galaxy lover. My kids and I both use the lotion bar after showers and baths to smooth our skin and on our hands especially in the winter (in Canada). Before I get up in the morning I throw on some of her roll on all natural perfume. I have just bought two salves and have just began using. I will update you on my journey with those! Now with all your products including Aurelias Serum I feel like a different woman. I look forward to my night care routine, I feel like it is apart of my ceremony each day. I smudge and wash physical and spiritual energy off me. (As an Indigenoud mother) combine that with the aurelias serum on my stretch marks, sun speckled arms, and drying wrinkling face I feel like myself again, comfortable in my own body. I look forward to giving myself this love after receiving Rocios amazing products that have changed me. I look forward to each new batch and the smells!”
