Lokahi Foundation
Encompassing all faiths, beliefs and cultures, Lokahi needed one brand identity to represent many things.
Lokahi is a Hawaiian word. It means harmony and balance. Or specifically, the creative and fruitful harmony that arises from diversity. As an impartial, independent charity, with no religious or political affiliation, we gave Lokahi an accessible look and feel. It’s about diversity, positive social change and an open dialogue.
Branding / Print / Website
Breaking the ice, whatever your faith, belief or cultural background.
“We worked with Stephen and his team in the past and we decided to hire them again in order to refresh our brand and redesign our website. From the start he understood exactly what our goals were. His designs were simple, yet also multi-layered so that multiple meanings and messages could shine through – important for a charity with a mission like ours.
“The website is beautiful and informative but, above all, it is also usable, friendly and inviting. Heat Design truly utilised their design and technical acumen to go above and beyond what we expected as the client. You don’t always get what you pay for; sometimes you get more!”
— Kawika Solidum, Marketing Director
Feedback
“Stephen and all the team at Heat Design are absolutely outstanding. We have worked with them again and again, tendered for form's sake but they just keep winning the tenders in open and stiff competition.
“They are incredibly deep and thorough in their work. They immerse themselves amazingly in every aspect of your company, your project, your ethos, your objectives and strategy. Then they go away and come up with brilliant ideas and solutions - always a range for you to choose from - with designs and approaches that are unexpected but absolutely right.
“I feel I understand my own thinking and my own work better once it has been refracted through Heat Design's perceptiveness and brilliance. Plus, they are just so much fun, such truly wonderful people to work with - that I have to hand a tender over someone else to make sure I'm not biased in their favour because they are such a great experience to do a project with. Then the other colleague chooses them for objective reasons... and finds out why I think they're so great.”
