Challenge

Holiday Tours is an Icelandic tour operator offering day excursions, private tours, custom itineraries and activities. Its rebrand needed enough warmth for a people-led experience and enough order to handle a broad offer across print, social and web.

The expressive logo and color could not become a free-for-all once different formats and teams began using them.

Approach

The Wander Agency developed the tour operator’s rebrand across logo design, visual identity, brand guidelines, print and social media, with a supporting website concept. An exuberant hand-drawn mark, direct type, saturated coral and human photography give the system its character.

A detailed brandbook governs the energy while the digital direction keeps the offer practical: travelers can browse regular tours or move into a more personal custom enquiry route.

Playful by design. Governed in use.

The looseness lives in the mark and the voice; a firm set of rules keeps that personality intact from a small card to a street poster.

The desktop concept brings the coral navigation and bold type into a straightforward browse-and-book surface.

Human photography keeps the offer warm while clear tour labels do the practical work. The design explores a common tour operator website brief: make scheduled departures easy to browse while giving travellers with a custom trip in mind a clear enquiry route.

The promise moves into the city

A four-part wall installation alternates direct language, an expressive traveler and the Icelandic landscape. At architectural scale, the system remains energetic without becoming visually crowded.

Useful objects, unmistakable character

The identity does not rely on one oversized logo. Color, material and the playful mark work together across objects people can carry, keep and share.

Big type, real people, one long hello

The poster family stretches the voice into the street: candid Iceland photography, a coral field and an intentionally overlong greeting that is hard to miss.
