El rincón del Nómada. Rural retreats brand.

El Rincón del Nómada” is a brand created for rural retreats located in León, on the border with Asturias, in the Babia region of Spain. It is a remarkable enclave surrounded by unspoiled nature. The challenge was to convey the sense of peace, disconnection, and energy of the Babia landscape, with a contemporary and fresh touch, while preserving the essence and elegance of the region’s traditional rural heritage.

Nomad has been associated with a compass, an ancestral object used for orientation. It represents the connection between getting lost and finding oneself—an energy deeply felt in an idyllic place like the Babia region. Babia is a space for disconnecting from the outside world and reconnecting with yourself, with mental peace and your inner world. The symbol also evokes a star, as the Babia region has been declared a UNESCO Starlight Reserve.

In the previous image, we can see how the logo has been constructed, with each house icon representing a rural accommodation. Polaris is one of the lodgings, and Cruz del Sur is another. Depending on its application, either the full El Rincón del Nómada logo will be used, or only the icon corresponding to each individual house.

Polaris and Cruz del Sur. Inspired by their ancestral character—like the compass—the names are based on the techniques traditionally used to find one’s way and navigate a journey, but following different coordinates: one to the south and the other to the north.

The color palette is created through a balance between vibrant and soft tones, bringing a sense of peace and calm while also adding intensity and personality to the brand identity. Four primary colors have been selected, to be combined in each piece according to its needs. In addition, Esencia is an accent color used to add value to more special brand content.

A combination of two contrasting typefaces has been chosen, both with harmonious and friendly forms. Together, they allow for multiple possible compositions, creating calm, approachable messages.

The “Being in Babia” effect.

With this effect, we create a dreamlike scenario that alludes to the well-known Spanish expression “quedarse en Babia,” commonly used to describe a state of being lost in thought or deeply absorbed. We use this expression figuratively—being in Babia, going to Babia—as a way of being elsewhere, in your own world, immersed in your thoughts. A state of mental peace and relaxation. Through this effect, we aim to visually convey this feeling by subtly dissolving reality, creating a soft, dreamlike atmosphere.
