Hounds Town USA has unveiled a bold new look, including a fresh logo and marketing efforts, as part of its brand evolution. The new look features a quirky and unique design, with energetic and inviting colors, and aims to represent the brand's commitment to authenticity and inclusivity.
Hounds Town USA announced today the launch of its brand evolution, unleashing a fresh take on the company’s “Hounds Town” image systemwide.
Hounds Town USA is embarking on the future of its daycare and boarding concept by publicizing a new logo and branding initiative. As part of the brand’s commitment to providing a home away from home for all dogs, this strategic renewed look takes design elements that are both quirky and unique, and creates a personality that perfectly depicts the Hounds Town experience.
The new trademarked logo, one of the biggest changes leading the pack, now features the sharpest house on the block bringing a noticeably happy hound into town. With energetic and inviting teal, light blue and lime green colors, the branding embraces the harmony that represents the Hounds Town mission of allowing dogs to simply be themselves. The colors are bold, enthusiastic and often accompanied with hand-drawn illustrations and lively photos of pets, which naturally evokes joy while simultaneously celebrating the brand’s diverse clientele.
Altogether, the evolution fully encompasses the brand’s motto: We do it for the dogs.
“This brand evolution comes during such an exciting time at Hounds Town, and our fresh look now better represents our commitment to authenticity and inclusivity,” said Jackie Bondanza, CEO of Hounds Town USA. “Our fantastic marketing team made this rebrand possible, crafting a brand persona that captures the heart of Hounds Town, and we’re absolutely thrilled with the outcome. We’re confident the imagery and the feelings it evokes will truly resonate with our franchisees, team members and pet parents alike.”
Supporting the design direction of this brand evolution was Laine Dorsey, Senior Art Director, and Nicole DeMarco, Senior Copywriter, with Moroch.
Playing an integral role in making the new vision of Hounds Town, Dorsey’s creative brought the brand to life with playful illustrations and a beautiful and bold color palette. DeMarco focused on evolving the voice that authentically depicted the brand’s truth.
“This new look is the perfect intersection between funky and sleek,” said David Martinelli, VP of Marketing at Hounds Town USA. “The new logos, colors, fonts and imagery work in tandem to bring our elevated vision to life, furthering our mission to deliver top-notch care to pet parents and their dogs on every level. We’re bringing an added level of sophistication, while maintaining a refreshingly fun design.”
