Virgin Hotels, world-renowned for some of the most unique properties within the hospitality industry,reached out to Green Olive to collaborate on the development of their brand new vinyl lounge concept. Ourteam was brought on during the ideation phase, which afforded us a “ground zero” perspective on theinspiration for this new brand. Once the Virgin team landed on the name “Hidden Grooves,” we began workon a brand identity package consisting of logo, typography, color palette, and supporting imagery. Theseelements were translated into comprehensive brand standards and brought to life by our team across arange of touchpoints, including signage, menus and collateral. The resulting design approach is not merelyan identity, it’s a manifesto. Rooted in the raw, DIY ethos of classic zine design, it offers a fitting personalityfor a listening bar in London’s eclectic Shoreditch neighborhood. Inspired by the rebellious energy ofindependent print culture, the design channels a handmade aesthetic and experimental spirit to create anidentity that is both accessible and authentically subversive.

With an aggressive timeline in place, Green Olive Media was engaged to help steer and execute this transition. Selected for our extensive hotel, restaurant and bar experience, we brought a keen understanding of both the hospitality industry and the Raleigh market to the table. Our first task was to immerse ourselves in the brand architecture, developing a comprehensive document outlining long-term strategy. In communicating exactly what hotel is and isn’t, we defined its objectives, goals and values while paying close attention to Raleigh’s competitive landscape, equipping ownership and management teams with the tools to articulate the brand direction, purpose and positioning as clearly as possible. Once those parameters were established, we explored a name for the hotel, providing the foundation for a thoughtful backstory capitalizing upon the city’s rich history and legacy. Logo design — supported by a system of designed touchpoints ranging from signage to in-room collateral and sales materials — soon followed, ensuring a visual solution befitting the hotel’s stylishly bold interiors.
