Starting situation
Optical Cowboy is a group optometric reference in Gijón. He was born in 1961 in the hands of Alfonso García Vaquero, who along with their children, opens the 5 points that make up the group today.
A prestigious company, always focused on the innovation and new technologies, specialized training of their workers, and a deal with the customer focused on getting the maximum satisfaction.
These objectives were the same as those pursued by the group Multiópticas who founded together with several partners, although these values were diluting with time under a directive interested only in profits.
Cowboy is forced to leave the group Multiópticas to keep their values, this leads him to create a new identity from scratch, that should compete with the powerful franchise that coexist in the market of the optics.

Seal
The seal has its origin in the sealing wax, a system that used a kind of wax to close a letter guaranteeing their authenticity.
In the seal it took to impress the family crest or the company.
Therefore their use has connotations related to the historical, exclusivity and luxury.
Lens
We use the lens of the logo as a decorative element in different ways depending on the applications.
