Hotel group rolls out updated logo, colour palette and signature typeface
Mandarin Oriental Hotel Group has unveiled an updated brand identity to “honour its dual Asian roots while embracing the future”.
The rebrand is centred around an updated logo, which features a modernised version of the brand’s signature fan symbol. The emblem was first introduced in 1985 and has been “central” to the group’s identity, so will remain a key part of the branding to “reemphasise its authority as a globally recognised mark of excellence”.
Each hotel will roll out its own branded items that feature a personalised fan, using locally commissioned designs.
The hotel group has also created a signature typeface, MO Exceptional, and introduced a new brand colour.
Celadon Green is said to be inspired by the green-glazed ceramics that hold “significant historical and cultural importance” in China and Thailand.
Alex Schellenberger, Mandarin Oriental’s senior vice-president of brand, said: “Luxury is so much more than just aesthetics – it is about emotion, storytelling and the seamless integration of heritage with innovation.
“Our refined visual identity is a natural evolution that aligns with our guest’s expectations: personalised, distinctive and deeply rooted in cultural authenticity. This is just the beginning of an exciting new chapter for Mandarin Oriental.”
