The Design

About Tels Cargo Merkevareidentitet

Tels Cargo er en merkevareidentitet skapt for et europeisk transportselskap med fokus på bilfrakt. Logoen beholder den originale typografien, fargepaletten og symbolet med fem striper som representerer en pall, slik at gjenkjennelsen bevares. Et sirkulært element representerer solen og lys. Bokstavene G og O i ordet Cargo er sammenføyd for å antyde bevegelse. Identiteten er anvendt på lastebildesign, veggkalendere, kontorrekvisita, gratulasjonskort, vannflasker, vesker, veggklokker, utstillingsstands og gaver. En grå og oransje fargepalett understøtter et moderne og profesjonelt uttrykk.

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.
