We have a new logo and brand identity!
HF Productions is evolving as we enter a new era. We are super excited and proud to announce that we will be named HFP moving forward with a new brand identity which aims to encompass our vision and show the company's innovation and growth 🌍
🦍Our decision to keep the gorilla as our logo but in a new more dynamic design derives from the fact that we still remain loyal to the company's core values but we are now stronger, bigger and more confident in moving forward and building a filmmaking community that empowers all its members. Of course, the iconic red dot, reminiscent of a recording button, couldn't be missing from the HFP logo as it signifies our fundamental belief that it all starts with a filmmaker capturing the moment.
HFP's new fresh and vibrant colour palette reflects our team's energetic spirit, creativity and decisiveness. Over the past few months, the HFP family is constantly expanding with new team members, partners, filmmakers and industry experts from all around the world with a common love and passion for the art of cinema.
We will be sharing more exciting news soon! Make sure to keep an eye out for our latest updates🔥
