The New Look of HBC

12/04/2014

We're celebrating the launch of our new website and logo!New HBCLogoMany of our clients and industry partners are familiar with the iconic HBC logo. Easily recognizable, the logo was designed over 15 years ago by Walt Thomas, founder of AREA. Walt hand drew the original HBC letters to create a custom look and feel that would establish the company's brand identity, and we have been known by those characteristic letters ever since. As we grow into the future, it seems natural that our logo would change to express who we are now. It''s important to us that we continue the legacy of our iconic HBC logo, but we have chosen to update the font and composition slightly to bring more attention to our full name Howard Building Corporation. Our company was established by Mike Howard over 30 years ago, and our foundation is strong. By bringing attention to the Howard name, we honor our history, while we simultaneously look to our future.
