HOTEL DE VILLE INTEGRATED CAMPAIGN









Integrated corporate identity campaign i developed for Hotel De Ville.

Hotel De Ville is a 'boutique' post-production company. They offer a facility that treats each project with the utmost care and dedication, regardless of budget or brand, thus providing their clients with the finest product one can possibly deliver. 

The company's identity is inspired by the magical city of Paris -- home to many of the world's superior craftsmen and spectacular creations. Since the company is in the business of story telling, we decided to create our own story - a combination of fact and fantasy - to embody what it represents. The introduction to the story begins on the letterhead and the journey unfolds on other elements in the identity. 

Awards for the project:
1 x Clio Awards finalist Corporate Identity & Environmental design
1 x Bronze Loerie Award - Corporate Identity design
1 x Bronze Loerie Award - Environmental design

Creative Director: Frank van Rooijen
Designers: Esti Le Roux, Frank van Rooijen
Copywriter: Philippa Heal
