2001 1st Life's Adopts New Logo

1st Life has put forth the organizational philosophy of creativity and innovation to come up with a new emblem. With the adoption of a new logo, 1st Life's ultimate purpose is to seize all possibilities to the company as an organization committed to deliver competitive world-class life insurance products and services.

A principal element in 1st Life's corporate strategy relates to keeping as close to the market as possible. This element is the basis of 1st Life's complete marketing effort focused on building and maintaining a consistent corporate image for the company. Our competitive arsenal lies in the balanced combination of commitment and experience brought to fore by the assurance that the name of the Coyiuto Group of Companies carries.

THE ELEMENTS: The Circular Emblem

The new logo preserves the integrity of the traditional circular emblem with a varied presentation. The circle with five slanted lines on top is now presented as leaning to the left unlike the previous frontal display. The fresh presentation wants to show an organization that is directed towards the future, awaiting to grasp all the potentialities of a growing horizon. The idea is for 1st Life to grow over the long-term, linking our vision to the future.

The Typeface
The new logo also adopted a new typeface from sans serif to serif and a new font from Arial to Garamond Italic. In general, serif type is considered more readable and the accents at the ends of the letters project class.

The Colors
1st Life has maintained so far the original color of the first logo in blue but combined this with a sparkling yellow instead of gold. The new color combination projects our organizational philosophy of growth and stability. While yellow stimulates and creates the feeling of harmony, blue connotes authority, power, and strength. The combined warm and cool colors of yellow and blue in the circular emblem creates a certain balance.

The Characters
1st Life is a responsive and stable partner in planning for financial protection and security and the idea is to show our growth and stability as a measure of our competitive position. 1st Life's growth is also an indication that the company is meeting the clients' needs. The number one now comes before other text and is presented in yellow. The new twist translates our dedication to the organizational philosophy of passion for excellence and our uncompromising commitment of placing customers' needs first. Meaning our clients expect the best and we would want it no other way.

The Slogan
The heart of our business is captured in the new slogan "With you in mind." The simplicity of the tagline indicates high recall and conveys the assurance of 1st Life's commitment as going beyond mere business. 1st Life is a promise of professional service with the personal touch that cements our relationships with clients as partners in managing financial needs.

The modifications in the company logo expect to project a more vivid presentation of 1st Life as a dynamic organization and fortify client awareness. The new emblem is a fresh development in the way we conduct our business, while remaining true to the ideals embedded in 1st Life's Mission and Vision.
