The logo has a hidden road junction and a North Star, which symbolizes the type of business the company is engaged in, and the region



The company logo can be found in all kinds of places, anywhere from business documents to construction equipment. Therefore different versions of the logo have been developed, so it will always look nice and neat everywhere.

The specific elements of UDS’s visual style are the alternating or paired beveled lines, painted in the company colors: white, dark gray, and turquoise. The combination of lines and solid background colors allows you to create a varied, but always recognizable visual style.
