A Symbolic new design for <strong>Divine</strong><br />

In 2006 we made <strong>the</strong> dec<strong>is</strong>ion <strong>to</strong> review<br />

<strong>Divine</strong>’s brand identity with <strong>the</strong> aim <strong>of</strong> more<br />

explicitly and d<strong>is</strong>tinctively communicating<br />

<strong>Divine</strong>’s very special appeal. Working with<br />

consultancy Williams Murray Hamm, a bold<br />

new look started <strong>to</strong> evolve. <strong>The</strong> striking<br />

identity, launched in January 2007 has<br />

helped win thousands more hearts and<br />

minds, opened many more doors, and <strong>is</strong><br />

continuing <strong>to</strong> delight chocolate lovers as <strong>the</strong><br />

design <strong>is</strong> rolled out across all ex<strong>is</strong>ting and new<br />

products. Building on <strong>the</strong> original gold and<br />

black palette <strong>the</strong> design features an elegantly<br />

reworked logo and <strong>is</strong> decorated with gold<br />

Adinkra symbols, traditional marks used on<br />

Adinkra symbols<br />

Many <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>se traditional signs symbol<strong>is</strong>e<br />

virtues, folk tales and proverbs, animals,<br />

and even h<strong>is</strong><strong>to</strong>rical events, and most are<br />

very old, having been passed down through<br />

generations <strong>of</strong> craftsmen. Here are six <strong>of</strong><br />

<strong>the</strong> symbols that appear on <strong>Divine</strong> bars:<br />

Reconciliation, peace<br />

and harmony<br />

from <strong>the</strong> past<br />

V<strong>is</strong>it www.divinechocolate.com<br />

<strong>to</strong> see more symbols<br />

many fabrics, signage and handcrafts in Ghana,<br />

each with its own meaning. Th<strong>is</strong> tribute <strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

products’ Ghanaian roots was welcomed with<br />

much pride by <strong>the</strong> farmers <strong>of</strong> Kuapa Kokoo,<br />

and gives <strong>Divine</strong> an exclusive presentation and<br />

prom<strong>is</strong>e <strong>of</strong> quality and integrity amongst<br />

a plethora <strong>of</strong> new competi<strong>to</strong>rs.<br />

<strong>The</strong> rebrand was supported by a seductive<br />

advert<strong>is</strong>ing campaign created once again by<br />

St Lukes, and featured in national press and<br />

women’s titles. It was also swiftly followed<br />

by <strong>the</strong> refreshed <strong>Divine</strong> website going live and<br />

bringing <strong>Divine</strong>’s online presence brilliantly<br />

<strong>to</strong> life.
