The logotype is a combination of solidity
and fluidity, like perfectly balanced yin and yang. While the font
is strong and immutable, the turquoise colour is symbolic of flowing
water, adapting to the shape and size of its surrounds. The contrasting
elements also denote the duality of a company that is stable and
reliable, yet "floats" in cyberspace as it is made up
of partners separated by sea. The silver lining, too, reinforces
R1's dichotomy - this time with connotations of (Eastern) good
fortune and a (Western) sense of modernity and progress.
The name itself is self-explanatory, the "R" standing
for rubber, the mainstay of the company; and the "1" emphasizing
the company's aim to lead the international rubber trading industry.
