Positioned in the top left, the Meadow logo—featuring its signature purple geometric icon and wordmark—anchors the design with structure and clarity. Overlapping in the lower right is the SparkPlug logo, marked by a bold, split-circle icon in electric gold and teal, surrounding a lightning bolt, accompanied by a strong sans-serif wordmark—evoking power, motion, and motivation. This design represents the synergy between Meadow’s operational backbone for dispensaries and SparkPlug’s real-time sales enablement platform. The overlapping elements reflect a seamless feedback loop: Meadow captures real sales data and staff activity, while SparkPlug translates it into actionable engagement—like brand-funded contests, learning modules, and incentive tracking—all without extra admin work.
