The Logo: Our Badge
The logo serves as a reminder of the pinnacle in the distance and is based on the majestic Teton Range. It is a reminder of the natural beauty in this world, the intensity of a mountain that must be summited, the seriousness of the challenges ahead, and the serenity of being one with nature. The area surrounding the Tetons holds a special place in the hearts of Elevate's founders, and serves as a constant reminder of striving for excellence to support and uplift those around us.
