What we did

  • Logo design
  • Brand identity system
  • Identity for international expansion

Context

SOZO Logistics is a Durban freight company moving cargo by air, ocean and road. As it expanded internationally, starting with the United States, we created the logo and brand identity for that next chapter.

The challenge

A brand that works in its home market has to work harder abroad. SOZO needed an identity that new customers and partners in the United States would read as credible from the first document they saw, while staying true to the team and relationships that built the business in South Africa.

The idea

One mark for every route

The
approach

01

A mark built to travel

The logo had to hold up at every size and in every market. We designed a simple, distinctive symbol paired with a clear SOZO Logistics wordmark.

02

An identity for expansion

Colour, typography and usage rules give the team one consistent way to present SOZO as it enters new markets, starting with the United States.

03

Designed for real touchpoints

We built the identity for the places a logistics brand is actually seen: proposals, partner documents, the website and everyday operations.

Outcome

SOZO still uses the identity today, across its website and its operations in South Africa and the United States. A mark built to travel, still travelling.
