About Tels Cargo Branding
Tels Cargo is a brand identity created for a European transportation company focused on automotive cargo. The logo keeps the original typography, colour palette and five-stripe symbol of a pallet, so recognition is retained. A circular element represents the sun and light. The letters G and O in the word Cargo are joined to suggest movement. The identity is applied to truck designs, wall calendars, office supplies, greeting cards, water bottles, bags, wall clocks, exhibition stands and gifts. A grey and orange palette supports a modern and professional appearance.

- Production Technology
- All advertising product layouts are created using graphic design software.
- Design Challenge
- The hardest part of this design activity was integrating the TELS Group's historical brand legacy with TELS Cargo's new strategic direction. This process faced creative challenges such as balancing tradition with innovation. Internally, the historical significance and social identity of the brand were pivotal, while externally, legal constraints, production capabilities, tech advancements, and access to information posed additional hurdles.
- Research
- A dynamic, modern visual style was crafted for TELS Cargo, reflecting professionalism and forward thinking. Conceptual imagery with a tech-inspired touch emphasized innovation and movement in transportation. A gray and bold orange palette reinforced the brand's identity, with orange symbolizing sun, light, and optimism. The design balanced energy, confidence, and a sleek, stylish aesthetic.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration for the new company logo retains key elements of the TELS brand – its typography, colour palette, and signature five-stripe graphic symbolizing a pallet (a skid) – to ensure continuity and recognition. To reflect dynamism and harmony, we introduced a circular element representing the sun and light. A unique touch is the seamless connection between 'G' and 'O' in Cargo, subtly reinforcing movement, as 'GO' signifies motion and progress.
- Project Duration
- The project began at the start of 2022 and was completed by the end of 2023 in Toronto.
- Operation Flow
- All advertising products were developed to enhance the company’s image and build customer trust, while also fulfilling the company’s daily office and communication needs.
