Brief
Create a refreshed visual identity to communicate Hopkin’s holistic approach, communicating its story, assets, thinking, and people.
Solution
Our approach was to review Hopkins’ long standing identity creating a brand that could adapt in tone across different global audiences. We executed this through the use of typography; using a flexible typographic approach and evolving their colour with a more vibrant secondary palette, delivering a confident brand that balanced boldness, expressiveness and restraint.
