Change is inevitable and to adapt one must evolve.
To re-design the identity for H&FS, a 25-year-old organization that has been working in the hospitality sector, the challenge at hand was to also determine to what extent was this change acceptable to it's beneficiaries and stakeholders.
Their old logo, we felt lacked concept thought and precision. The initials H, F & S stand for Hospitality, Food and Service (the full form however they have seldom used as they prefer it short). Hence our initial attempt was to make a mark that would visually speak for their prime business activity.
This exercise eventually got our client to rethink this proposal and they went for a more character driven approach. We sat to pin-it together in words that could define this persona.
This lent itself to these directions.
These were primarily derivatives of the elements from the old logo. However only the last one amongst these seemed like a possible direction, as it was the maximum the client was willing to move away from the exisiting identity.
We explored with typography and zeroed in on these options.
However, determined to somehow create a mark that could stand by itself we have stretched it a tad bit more.
And the client is excited!
Working on the stationery. Will share in another post soon as soon as it arrives from the press.
