Project

Tradewind Group is a holding company that was created as the investment arm of Island Insurance. Since its creation, it’s grown to encompass a range of companies and remained low profile. To support employee recruitment and retention, a step forward was taken with their brand to convey their values and vision.

Tradewind Group logo

The Tradewind Group logo features a progression of moon-shapes arranged in lei-formation, one wrapping around the other. The symbol suggests connection and partnership, a sense of progressive movement and a deep knowledge of Hawai'i.

Early ideas included elements of momentum, movement, water, and navigation.
