Rebranding UH Foundation

New UH Foundation logo

The results come on the heels of the conclusion of the UH Foundation’s comprehensive rebranding initiative. The initiative was spearheaded by a committee comprised of community volunteers and UH Foundation Board of Trustees members and staff. Olomana Loomis, LLC conducted a comprehensive assessment of the foundation’s brand that included research using focus groups.

“Once we examined the research findings, we worked with renowned designer Kurt Osaki of Osaki Creative to design the new logo,” said Donna Vuchinich, president and CEO of the UH Foundation. “This initiative will help us better articulate what we do and how we serve our university community. Our goal is to live our brand promise of service, excellence, integrity, trust, teamwork and accountability every day, in everything we do to ensure that we continue to be a strong partner uniting donors’ with the University of Hawaiʻi’s aspirations.”

The new UH Foundation logo contains a stylized torch that includes the university’s “light of knowledge” that is part of the current UH System logo.
