Hudson Gavin Martin Identity
Alt Group Limited, Auckland, New Zealand, 2008
Description
Hudson Gavin Martin is a boutique legal practice formed by three partners who advise on Intellectual Property and Technology Law in Australasia. All good (and bad) things come in threes. Three is more than a partnership—it’s a team. Culture and customs offer up all sorts of threesomes, humorous and otherwise. We eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, with a knife, fork and spoon. For lunch we’ll have a bacon, lettuce and tomato sandwich, for dinner a three-course meal.
We began a witty and engaging conversation revealing “ideas” that come in threes. The three wise men—Hudson, Gavin, Martin—are cool, calm and collected; they advise on clients’ assets, equities and liabilities and are ready, willing and able. The identity uses the copyright, trademark and registered symbols to directly reference the firm’s core business.
Juror Notes
The diversity of the application is surprising for a law firm—for anyone, really. The logo tells you what business they are in. Intellectual property law represented intellectually.
