Rebranding Project
Infinity Group, a leading UK travel company with sub-brands including Infinity Cruises, Sports Travel, and Tours, sought a comprehensive rebranding to better reflect their high-level service and unify their brand identity after significant growth. This project focused on creating a visually strong brand that incorporated their core value of "Drive" and the universal infinity symbol.

Challenges
When I began working with Infinity Group, it was clear that they wanted their name to be one of their strongest visual assets. The challenges were to:
Rebranding Goals
Design Philosophy
The first decision was whether to stay true to the existing designs or introduce a new style. The client gave me full creative control. I made the decision to develop the existing color palette and completely redesign all other aspects of the brand identity.
Logo Mark
The challenge was to combine the universal infinity symbol with a sub-brand symbol and the company name harmoniously. Rather than haphazardly combining multiple icons, a distinct logo mark was created. It prominently showcased the company's identity while subtly hinting at each sub-brand through icons within the logo mark. This approach allowed for a cohesive system of sub-brands and co-branding opportunities, quickly identifying both the Group (Infinity Group) and the product (Sub-brand).
Core Value "Drive"
- Infinity Group
Colour Palette
The colour palette evolved from the Group's primary Infinity Royal Blue. I selected colours that complemented Infinity Royal Blue and paid homage to the previous brands: Infinity Eggshell Blue for Infinity Group, Infinity Harvest Gold for Infinity Cruises, Infinity Teal Blue for Infinity Sports Travel, and Infinity Sunset for Infinity Tours.
Symbolism
Infinity Symbol: Represents limitless potential.
Swoop Element: Signifies going above and beyond for customers.
Overall Shape: Resembles a 'house,' representing the Group, with individual sub-brands within it.
Typography
I chose Brandon Text Regular for the logo typeface for its modern, easily readable and minimalist style to harmonise with the intricate logo mark. The Interstate font family was selected as the primary typeface. One of Interstate's standout features is its high legibility. The even stroke widths and balanced letterforms make it easy to read in both print and digital media.
Icons
Clean, simple, and intuitive icons were designed with lines and smooth edges to illustrate Infinity Group's services and make user interfaces exciting.
Brand Patterns
Geometry from the logo mark was used to create brand patterns for diverse applications. When used creatively, the Infinity mark interacts with images in unique and engaging ways.
Imagery
Instead of clichéd travel images, a range of images were carefully selected to convey a true sense of place and depict beautiful epic destinations.
Results
The rebranding of Infinity Group and its sub-brands successfully achieved the following:
