 At the heart of the logo is symbolic reference to Kat's interest in space and the physical sciences, with the atom and galaxies represented. Four shapes are present, representing four aspects of sustainability - environmental, social, local economic and governance. 

The colour, Pantone 5483c, is representative of the work we do in sustainability, for which the colours of green and blue are commonly used. The colour is better known as Delta II rocket blue which was the colour associated with NASA's Delta II rockets. The striking colour is that of AkzoNobel's "Blue Fluid Resistant Primer", the undercoat used for NASA's Delta II rockets.

Like most rockets, all parts of the rocket, including the fuel tanks were originally white, but after the first few launches of the rockets, the white top coat was no longer used in an effort to improve the fuel efficiency by reducing surplus weight on the rocket. This improved efficiency links back to the work which is at the heart of what we do…doing the same for less material and improving energy efficiency. 

The rockets were retired from use in Sept 2018, around the same time CmdrKat Consulting was established, so it seemed fitting that the colour be adopted.

Kat honestly believes in walking the walk and talking the talk.

She has a Hyundai Ioniq fully electric vehicle which is charged from her home which has a 6.6kW PV system installed, a 5kWh battery and, in the even that isn't enough, she has 100% Natural Power for the balance of her family's electricity consumption.
