The Grant Thornton Brand style
A brand is perhaps the single most powerful tool that
an organisation can use to communicate accountability and
leadership wherever it does business. Grant Thornton member
firms in over 100 countries have adopted the new brand identity
and logo, making them instantly recognisable as part of the
Grant Thornton International network. The tone of voice of the
new brand is bold, clear and positive.
The Grant Thornton logo
The logo consists of three elements: the symbol, the colour and
the Grant Thornton ‘wordmark’. Together they express a bold,
confident and cohesive global organisation. The inspiration for
the symbol is the Mobius strip, discovered by mathematicians in
the 19th Century. Its evolution into the Grant Thornton symbol
captures the qualities of a continuous band that looks three
dimensional, permanent, yet constantly flexible. It reflects
everything coming together into one cohesive whole. To help
differentiate the Grant Thornton brand, purple has been adopted
for the symbol, a colour predominately associated worldwide with
leadership, dignity and governance.
The Grant Thornton imagery style
The new brand identity uses four different types of imagery
including illustration, portraiture, icons and black and white
photography. All contribute to the objective of creating a rich,
creative brand: a brand that demonstrates bold and positive
leadership, a personal, human approach and clarity in thought
and delivery.
