On the occasion of Pidpa’s 100th anniversary, the organization seized the opportunity to thoroughly refresh its corporate identity. The last restyling of the logo and corporate identity dated back to 1996. In the meantime, the company has evolved significantly. As Pidpa undertook more and more activities, there was a proliferation of names and logos. The mother brand Pidpa disappeared more and more into the background and the design became obsolete.
In terms of brand architecture, Lemento recommended phasing out the various sub-brands. Pidpa needed to come back to the fore as the parent brand, with a strong brand positioning and a contemporary look and feel.
First of all, we took the logo in hand. We kept the existing colors, but added more dynamism and softer shapes. In addition, we came up with a baseline that represents both Pidpa’s mission and its day-to-day activities: ‘water in motion’. Under this banner, we brought Pidpa’s new corporate identity to life. We selected a new color palette based on natural tones. We built the graphic shapes using the waves from the logo.
We then applied the new style to various communication tools: stationery, documents, company vehicles, clothing, flags and gadgets. To ensure correct and consistent application of the corporate identity, we also developed the corporate identity guidelines.
Finally, we drew up a strategic communication plan that allowed Pidpa to launch the new brand identity first to employees and then to the outside world. With this thorough refresh, Pidpa was launched for the next 100 years full of water in motion.
