dōTERRA is an essential oils company founded in April 2008 in Pleasant Grove, Utah, that sells products through independent Wellness Advocates.[1] The company name comes from Latin roots and means “Gift of the Earth.”[2] The visual identity centers on the wordmark “dōTERRA,” which features a macron (a horizontal line) over the letter “o.”
Design and History
The dōTERRA wordmark is a stylized text logo that combines the lowercase letters “do” with uppercase “TERRA,” and includes a macron over the “o.”[3] The macron is a distinctive and legally protected element of the brand. dōTERRA Holdings, LLC has registered the letter “o” with a macron over it as a standalone trademark with the USPTO, with the mark described as “the letter ‘o’ with a macron over the ‘o’.”[4]
The company also uses a separate logo mark: a five-petal flower with the bottom petal shaped like a shaded drop of water, registered as a trademark for essential oil products.[5] This flower-and-drop emblem appears alongside the wordmark in various product and marketing contexts.
