Elemis Spa - A Chinese designer in Hong Kong created the Elemis spa logo. The symbol has two meanings - first, the beautiful oriental lotus flower represents creativity and purity, amid adverse surroundings.Chinese poets and artists used lotus flowers to inspire people to continue striving through difficulties and to show their best part to the outside world, no matter how bad the circumstances may be. In the western world we can liken this to the adverse stress, fast pace and pressures of today's lifestyles. Like a lotus flower we must rise above this and recognize the simplicity, purity and sensuality of the senses. Second, the design incorporates a pathway down the center of the flower to another world ...that of sensory heaven. The oriental lotus flower acts as a reminder of the miracle of beauty, light and life, a symbolic synergy with the Elemis philosophy.
