About Roofarm Rebranding Primaire functie: Merkidentiteit

Boektekst: Dit project is een rebrandinginitiatief dat de bedrijfsuitbreiding van Roofarm begeleidt. Het bedrijf is voortgekomen uit stedelijke daklandbouw en breidt nu uit naar grootschalige landbouw op het platteland, naast zijn stedelijke activiteiten. In deze fase werd de bedrijfsvisie opnieuw gedefinieerd als het Heruitvinden van de Landbouw om de Wereldwijde Voedselvoorziening te Waarborgen. Deze visie werd vertaald naar een op circuits geïnspireerde identiteit die landbouw als infrastructuur uitdrukt. De identiteit bevat twee onderling verbonden vormen die de relatie tussen stedelijke en landelijke systemen symboliseren.

Unique Properties
This project is a rebranding initiative accompanying RooFarm's business expansion. Against the projected 2050 food crisis and global supply chain challenges, the company has grown from urban rooftop agriculture and now expands into large-scale rural farming alongside its existing urban operations. At this turning point, the corporate vision was redefined as "Reinventing Agriculture to Sustain the World's Food Supply," repositioning agriculture as infrastructure supporting society. The visual identity system translated this shift into a cohesive brand foundation for continued growth.
Dimensions & Packaging
The logo was designed with reproducibility in both physical and digital formats as a fundamental premise. It maintains its symbolic integrity even in monochrome and features a structure that allows enlargement, reduction, and three-dimensional application. It functions as a scalable brand foundation that grows alongside business expansion.

Design Challenge
The greatest challenge of this project was to integrate the traditionally separate concepts of urban and rural and technology and agriculture into a single, clear brand identity. It needed to be simple yet possess strong symbolism, withstand discussion on a societal scale, and be forward thinking while retaining the approachability expected of a food brand. To achieve this balance, we pursued a structure that encapsulates maximum meaning with minimal elements.
Research
This project redefined the vision for agriculture pursued by RooFarm by organizing the business structures, social roles, and future scalability of both urban and rural agriculture. From a perspective that views agriculture not as production but as a foundation, we investigated and analyzed its relationships with technology, logistics, and social structures, exploring ways to visually integrate these elements.
Inspiration
RooFarm's new visual identity reexamines the fragmented structure in which cities consume and rural areas supply, envisioning a new model that reconnects urban and rural agriculture. It translates the concepts of reinventing, supporting, and becoming the foundation into a logo inspired by electronic circuits and circuit boards. Structured through two distinct yet interconnected forms, the mark presents agriculture not merely as production but as infrastructure, symbolizing both independence and interdependence between urban and rural systems.
Project Duration
The project commenced in Tokyo, Japan in October 2025 and is scheduled to launch in April 2026.
Operation Flow
The logo design is adaptable for diverse touchpoints including cardboard, planters, packaging and digital media. It creates a consistent brand experience from production sites to consumers. The logo silhouette balances technological sophistication with approachability as a food product.
