Polynesian branding case study #1
THE STORY
Client project & needs
Kali and his Polynesian family and friends in California were in need for a special identity for their cultural association.
In fact, Kali had a piece of traditional bark tapestry called "Ngatu" which his Tongan grand-mother made for him.
Kali wanted to use the piece of ngatu as the base of the logo.
THE WORK
Brand name construction
Name structure : Classic descriptive name construction.
Design
As the original Ngatu patterns are way too intricate for a logo, we extracted the core of the design.
Content representation
The star shape has four branches and four sub-branches.
It represents the compass rose, with the main winds the seafaring Polynesians used in ancient times.
Colors - The earth tones remind of the soil of the Pacific islands
Font - The team wanted to give a modern twist to the logo to represent the younger generations and encourage intergenerational exchange among Polynesians.

THE STORY
Client project & needs
A brilliant businessman, our client wanted to give his new company a Marquesan identity.
He has a passion for hunting and loves his valleys of the Marquesas islands, where wild boars and goats can be found.
The entrepreneur called upon Huri Translations to build his entire brand identity.
The acronym ARM stands for Armurerie Richmond Marquises, which astutely forms the word ARM.
Our client made the point of representing the Marquesas islands by using the red, yellow and black colors that make up the Marquesan flag.
