The notion of exclusivity attracts a special kind of attention, and this idea was exploited in the development of Secret Location branding. The concept store has a unique image that's already appealing to chic Vancouver consumers, and this has been enhanced by SabotagePKG with a single strong symbol.

An antique key has become the emblem of the shop, complete with a sculptural stem and an intricately cast tooth design. It's suggested that this elaborate tab would open [a very special door](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/through-the-keyhole) to a place where one would certainly desire entry. On the [shopping bags](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bottle-and-packaging-redesign), this elegant logo is enhanced with a silvery finish to give the object beautiful dimension. You'll see the same symbol printed upon the [gift cards](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/legitimate-you), the cartons, the paper coffee cups and the plastic drinking cups that make up Secret Location branding.
