Name and Logo Signify International Growth
Hilton Worldwide (formerly Hilton Hotels Corporation), the leading
global hospitality company, today announced the launch of its new
corporate name and logo. Hilton’s new name, Hilton Worldwide, signifies
the company’s global breadth and reach, and the logo incorporates key
design elements that reflect Hilton’s rich heritage, vision for the
future and commitment to excellence in service.
“This is an incredibly dynamic time in our company’s history. On the
heels of a successful move into our new global headquarters, we’re
excited to launch our corporate identity that better represents who we
are today and our aspirations for the company going forward,” said
Christopher J. Nassetta, President and Chief Executive Officer, Hilton
Worldwide. “While our corporate name and logo have changed, the best of
our company — the passion, commitment and high standards of our team
members that translate into exceptional experiences for our guests —
remains the same.”
The new corporate name and logo follow the company’s recent relocation
of its global headquarters from Beverly Hills, Calif., to McLean, Va.
These changes have also been mirrored by the internal launch of a
refreshed company vision, mission, values and key strategic priorities,
which are intended to communicate more clearly how Hilton conducts
business and plans to achieve company goals.
Hilton Worldwide’s portfolio of ten brands comprises more than 3,300
hotels in 77 countries around the world. The company will open more than
300 hotels this year.
Logo Design Details
With the addition of the word “worldwide,” the new logo unites all
members of the organization across all parts of the globe with one
shared vision for success. The platinum and gold stylized H evokes
quality, stature and the richness of Hilton’s heritage. The two halves
are reflective, which are a reminder of the company’s storied past and
vibrant future, and the open curves are welcoming, symbolizing the world
of travel by suggesting the round edges of the globe, the arch of a
bridge and posts of a bed.
The logos and imagery of the hotel brands that comprise Hilton
Worldwide, including Hilton Hotels, will remain unchanged, while the
Hilton HHonors brand will adopt the core elements of the new corporate
identity and logo.
“The new corporate and Hilton HHonors branding enable our individual
hotel brands to further build their distinctive identities while also
communicating their common connections and the strong value proposition
of the HHonors program,” said Paul Brown, President of Hilton’s Global
Brands and Commercial Services.
