Modern, contemporary, refreshing and totally in line with the core values that Kruidvat wants to portray. Today the Netherlands' largest chain of chemist shops has reaffirmed its distinctiveness with the official launch of its new logo. Through the introduction of a recognisable and eye-catching trade mark, Kruidvat wishes to distinguish itself even more strongly in the Dutch Health & Beauty market. Furthermore, the new logo is totally in line with Kruidvat's updated retail formula.
Through the launch of the new logo, Kruidvat is able to officially present itself in a recognisable manner. Unlike the old logo, which was developed in 1980 and since then has only undergone a few small modifications, this time not only the whole brand name has been opted for in the logo, but also a trade mark that can be used separately. The 'K' for Kruidvat is incorporated in a subtle and creative manner in the new logo. "We have succeeded in creating a recognisable and contemporary symbol to be used in all of our communication that also fits in perfectly with our updated retail formula. In this new concept, as was the case previously, customers can go to Kruidvat for a surprising and competitive range, but in a fully updated and modernised retail environment. Perception, appearance and accessibility are the main considerations here. Those starting points have been translated into this new trade mark, of which we are, of course, particularly proud", said Gerard van Breen, General Director of Kruidvat.
Today, in the presence of the entire Kruidvat management board, Kruidvat's new logo was festively unveiled by actress and the SBS TV station presenter Ellemieke Vermolen, at the Kruidvat shop in the "De Kwinkelier" shopping centre in Bilthoven.
Donation to Homes for Hope Aims to Spread out the Happiness
It's that time of year again to enjoy some Easter treats and traditions, and there's no better place to experience it than GREAT Food Hall. During this year's promotion taking place between March 27 and April 14, 2009, there are over 160 new Easter indulgences imported globally in addition to fun-filled, in-store activities geared towards children. As a socially responsible company, GREAT will make donation to South China Morning Post Homes for Hope during the Easter promotion to add meaning to everyone's holidays.
To share the happiness and goodwill of Easter with the suffering survivors of the Sichuan earthquake, GREAT will donate HK$1 to SCMP Homes for Hope for every purchase of selected Easter goods (labelled with Homes for Hope logo) in store. The more you donate, the more GREAT is giving to those in need. GREAT will also place donation boxes between 27 March and 30 April. The entire proceeds will be donated to SCMP Homes for Hope to help Sichuan quake survivors rebuild their shattered homes. During this period, a cheque was ceremonially presented to the organisation to kick off this initiative and encourage the public to support this meaningful cause.
