Centred wordmark
The name anchors the plate. The flower and the dancer in profile sit above it within the weave.
VISUAL IDENTITY · B02 SERIES
Living weave · Two variations
A smaller flower gives the name Instituto Totonacapan greater prominence. The insect remains at the centre of the encounter, between the woven vanilla vine and the stepped niches. The relief figure draws on Teodoro Cano García’s sculptural language.

Horizontal composition
The dancer and flower frame the name from the left, with the frieze running underneath.
VISUAL IDENTITY · ENCOUNTER SERIES
Encounter · The Institute’s seal
The meeting of the vanilla orchid and the insect is the centre of the seal. The pods, botanical frieze and stepped niches connect the engraving with the visual memory of the Totonacapan.
B01 · 02
Encounter with the Volador
The smaller orchid retains its contact with the insect. The descending Volador balances the plate.
B01 · 03
Compact seal
The standing dancer and the botanical encounter form a square mark without lettering.
