AHL Commodities Exchange (AHCX) is a new subsidiary company of Auction Holdings Limited. AHCX was established to provide a marketing platform for various agriculture commodities. I was asked to design a new logo for the company.
The first concept (below) shows the identity as the company name abbreviation AHCX with an image of grain, the main commodity to be traded by the company, nestled between the C and the X.
AHCX liked the concept above but wanted images of arrows (depicting an exchange) to be made prominent in the design while maintaining the original elements of the concept.
AHCX settled for the concept with arrows extending from the A and X. The full name of the company was appended to the bottom of the logo. The identity colours are green to represent the crop that produces the agriculture commodity while the gold represents the money that the farmers receive for their produce.
The gold gradient colours were added later by another designer.
