The Brand
The power of dreams
How can the Honda brand be strengthened?
May 5th, 1959 - Honda's nine man team arrives at the Isle of Man
The Visual History
Their visuals are strong but don't say anything except for:
"HI I'M A HONDA"
The Problem
While Honda pushes far in technology and design, it is drawn back by the lack of inspiring branding.
A confusing set of identities hinders the understanding of their mission.
But what is Honda's message?
What do they stand and fight for?
we are
Dream Builders
‘‘
‘‘
Honda believes in The Power of Dreams. But believing isn’t enough. As Soichiro Honda said: “Action without philosophy is a lethal weapon; philosophy without action is worthless.”
What is it?
Dream
The dictionary says its:
n.
a cherished aspiration, ambition, or ideal.
But I decided to defined it a little better
an ever-evolving desire, a timeless concept with ephemeral manifestations
While dreams themselves have and will always exist, when they become real they are but a moment.
You can dream about pizza for a month, but it you'll eat it in a second.
And this is what Honda needs to be:
timeless
Welcome to the new Honda
The Chrono
A reinterpretation of the brand as the Timeless Dream Builders.
The entity that turns fiction into reality, no matter when.
An hourglass that signifies its relationship with time. One that forms Honda's iconic 'H' in its negative space.

We realize dreams, turning fiction into reality.
We explore the unknown and pave the way to new discoveries
We are an ideal, one that permeates all we do.
Wherever and whenever.
Keep Dreaming
