As they are starting up they wanted a logo that represented them as a research group that included their name in Spanish to be more inviting to the Latino Community. The challenge was that they wanted an Aztec symbol in the design, through research I found the Aztec symbol that fit best was the Ojode Ollin, who is the god of medicine and research, along with was the idea of a teeth pattern motif to relate back to the research they do within dental care. Apart from the logo they also wanted a Stationery Kit that included business cards and a letterhead.
