A note on the name
Clavis — Latin for key — was the original mark, chosen for symbolising the key to the puzzle, the engineering component that gives an arch its strength. The geometry of the Aequitas Collective mark carries it forward: three bars and a horizontal rule read as both a key and a pair of scales. The legal foundation has not changed. The trading name has.
Clavis Limited T/A Aequitas Collective. Registered in New Zealand.
