Our Name
The name came about through team work
and intelligence. Three kids were tasked
with coming up with a name that stands
on its own with no previous use for a
company;
The name had to
revolve around the theme of ‘honesty
& integrity’. After toying with many
names they settled on one: in the belief
that they were children full of honesty
and integrity so why not coin something
from their name based on their belief of
their individual and collective
qualities, they had combined their
names. The result is what we now proudly
know as CADESMEE
Our Colors
Studies have shown that green is the
colour most associated with nature,
youth, hope, life and fertility.
Green
symbolises self-respect and wellbeing.
It is the colour of balance and
learning, growth and harmony. This
colour is favoured by well-balanced
people, a master healer and life
force.
Balance and a sense
of order are found in the colour green.
Change and transformation are necessary
for growth and the ability to sustain
change is part of the energy of the
colour green.
Individuals
and groups who have integrity are safe
to deal with and our choice of the
colour green symbolises our quest to
promote integrity in all aspects of our
business and those of our clients. Green
is considered a ‘safe’ colour. Doing
business with
Cadesmee
means being in safe hands!!
Our Symbol
The strategy used in the creation of our
name is tied to the symbol we chose.
Being a truly Ghanaian entity and being
proud of Ghana as a country, we could
only choose an indigenous Ghanaian
symbol. The Adinkra symbol ‘dame-dame’,
(representing ‘Intelligence and
Ingenuity’), was the obvious choice.
This
was clearly at work when the name was
formed: skill and cleverness allowed
three kids to solve the name challenge
that was at play, with intelligence and
ingenuity. We changed and migrated from
our previous adinkra symbol in 2016 to a
Dove, Doves mate for life and work
together to build their nest and raise
their young. While birds of prey would
attack their neighbours, the dove is a
bird of peace, eating seeds, easily
trained to eat out of the hand.
For
different civilisations, the dove was a
symbol of quiet innocence, a symbol of
peace and long life, a representation of
love, devotion, and care for a family.
The dove also symbolised the peaceful
soul for many cultures. The dove and
olive branch appeared in Christian
images of Noah’s ark. “Perpetual peace
is indicated by the olive branch (oleae
ramusculo) which the dove brought with
it when it returned to the ark.”
Cadesmee
fully associates with this and fully
believe in Christlike attitude in all we
do. And the transformation in our
drive-in mind, body and soul has settled
on this new logo in 2020 which we can
consider as settled. Leading is to the
new and permanent Logo!
The
guidelines of our new logo describe the
visual element that represents
Cadesmee’s identity. These include our name,
Logo and colour. Sending a consistent
and controlled message of who we are
essentially, representing a strong
unified image of our company’s brand.
These guidelines reflect
Cadesmee’s commitment to quality, innovation,
consistency and style. The
Cadesmee
brand including the logo, name, colours
and other identifying elements are a
valuable company asset. Each of us is
responsible for protecting the company’s
interest by preventing unauthorised or
incorrect use of the
Cadesmee
name and mark.

This is the challenge Adam Imoru Ayarna will continue to encourage, to last through generations. His passion for people and the willingness to share acquired knowledge in business led him to access at great personal cost, a premise where mentorship is the hallmark.
