Pahi Coastal Walk Brand Design

Project details

Pahi Coastal Walk was created as an all-inclusive three-day walking experience across a spectacular coastal farm in the Coromandel. Positioned as an accessible alternative to traditional multi-day tramping, the experience combined walking, accommodation, food and transport, with a strong focus on sustainability, hospitality and connection to the land.

Creative Process

The logo draws directly from the landscape, combining a hand-drawn representation of the distinctive coastal skyline with the shoreline and water below. A natural sage palette, refined typography and circular marque create an identity that feels contemporary while remaining grounded in the character of the land.

The identity was designed around Pahi’s core values of environment, people and land, with a fresh, natural and approachable feel. The visual direction balances the rugged beauty of the coastal environment with the warmth, quality and hospitality of the catered experience.

Brand Guidelines

The brand guidelines established a cohesive system across logo use, colour, typography, imagery and photography. The identity was then rolled out across the Pahi Coastal Walk website and social media, creating a consistent and recognisable brand experience across key customer touchpoints.
