Valora introduces unified visual language for all brands
Swiss retailer Valora announced a new unified visual language using photographs by Swiss photographer Dominik Baur across all its brands. The images depict everyday situations of people on the go, such as in city centers, at train stations, bus stops, and gas stations. The photos were taken at numerous locations in Switzerland and Germany, and work began about a year ago. The images connect everyday moments with the group's products, like morning coffee, a pretzel between meetings, or a sandwich on the way home. The new visual world aims to create a visual bracket across Valora's brands, highlighting what unites them: people on the move. The photos will be used in internal and external communications across countries and brand boundaries. Valora's portfolio includes K Kiosk, Brezelkönig, BackWerk, Ditsch, Press & Books, Avec, Caffè Spettacolo, and Frittenwerk.

Volg operates about 600 stores in Switzerland.

SwissHoldings gets new brand identity from Studio Thom Pfister
SwissHoldings, a Swiss business association, unveiled a new visual identity and website, designed and developed by Bern-based agency Studio Thom Pfister. The core of the redesign is a new wordmark combining the initials 'S' and 'H', with the reduced 'H' subtly referencing the Swiss cross to evoke a connection to Switzerland through typography rather than illustration. The entire design system, including modular layouts, is derived from the geometry of the mark. New imagery featuring transparent glass objects symbolizes themes such as law, dialogue, growth, networking, and responsibility, complemented by photographs from business, politics, and society. The new website features a clear information architecture and a members-only area.
