BRAND IDENTITY

HMC stands for progress and innovation, fuelled by the ambition to grow across a multitude of dimensions, and the responsibility in staying true to our founding traditions of trust and teamwork. This lucidity is held together by the dynamic Orbit of Progress and a solid, grounded yet progressive font that has been painted in a bold red. The colour symbolizes energy and passion, and is the perfect embodiment of our dynamism and forward thinking principles. This colour has also been the prevailing identity across similar group entities for several decades.

  • Group Companies
  • Partners and Stakeholders
  • Core Values

The colour blue used in the orbit depicts trust and transparency while the orbits suggest a state of continuous engagement and motion (mobility). An orbit is never static and is always undeviating in its progress. They also indicate the ripple effect created by the group across various industries and spheres. At the same time, it represents outward expansion.

The Orbit of Progress represents our desire to never settle and always evolve to new and greater achievements. It’s ripples are an indication of this desire spreading across the various industries where we have made our mark. It has been painted in a steadfast blue to exemplify our dedication to trust and transparency. It is these core values that the Orbit of Progress stands for, across our several layers of engagement between HMC and its group companies, partners, and stakeholders.
