Our Interpretations

The Name...

The name “TORNOS” is derived from ancient Greek and is actually the root of the words “Tour” and “Tourism”. The literal meaning of “TORNOS” is going around in a circular motion and coming back to the point where one starts from. It’s quite insightful when you consider the cyclical nature of travel and exploration.

The Logo....

Our logo features a unique design: a colourless, hollow font. This represents the boundless space we embrace for innovation, improvisation, and expansion. We envision our infinite dreams as the driving force behind this design, symbolized by the notion that dreams are often described in black and white. Accompanying our logo is the caption, “The Nostalgic Experience” elegantly integrated into a re-shaped exclamation mark. This symbolises the excitement we feel in curating and delivering truly nostalgic experiences. “The Nostalgic Experience” perfectly encapsulates our mission at Tornos: to authentically create and recreate the rich environments of culture, history, and lifestyle from bygone eras. We are dedicated to taking our guests on journeys back to rare and timeless moments.

20-25 & 30 Years Logo....

Our exclusive age-logo, highlighting our 20-25 year journey and now our 30-year milestone, signifies 'Learning' as a key benefit of being with us. The faded grey aesthetic evokes the idea of 'Aging with grace' and the wisdom that comes with experience. The exclamation marks used as spacers emphasize the continuous excitement and passion that has always been a part of Tornos. The core of the logo initially featured a count-up from 20 to 25 years, a design adopted in 2014 and updated annually until our 25th anniversary in 2019. After a span of five years, we re-adopted a similar logo to commemorate our 30th year, serving as our special triennial emblem.

The Colour....

Our stationery typically features a palette of black, grey, and white, accented with hints of gold. This is rooted in our belief that dreams begin in black and white, and the journey to making them real involves adding vibrant colors. At Tornos, we continuously strive to infuse color into our work. Yet, as we achieve one milestone, we envision new ones, returning to a metaphorical “colorless” state as we set our sights higher. This ongoing process of dreaming, striving, and evolving pushes us to continually stretch our capabilities. Rest assured, our services are available in a full spectrum of colors to meet your needs.
