HKRI Unveils New Brand Identity

As the Group continues to set foot in diversified markets and businesses, we are delighted to unveil our new corporate brand identity today with the view to building a clear and consistent image across all activities. The revamped identity is a modernisation of the previous logo which has been in use for over two decades since the listing of HKRI in 1989. Presented in a simple and compelling four-letter format, the new logo is visually impressive and easily recognisable, making it more effective in communicating the corporate name and identity. The sleek design portrays the company in a contemporary and forthright manner, and signifies the strong presence and unique position of HKRI in developing and managing premium property and hospitality projects in diversified markets for customers of exquisite taste.

A rebranding exercise involving HKRI head office has commenced and will be rolled out to all group subsidiaries, with the entire process expected to be completed by the end of 2015.
