The new Eastland Group Logo

The new Eastland Group Logo

AS part of a high-speed growth plan, regional infrastructure company Eastland Group has unveiled a new “family” of logos, along with a new motto. Eastland Group, which owns Eastland Port, Eastland Network and Eastland Generation, and also operates Gisborne Airport, last night launched a suite of new logos.

Chief executive Matt Todd said the new designs reflected the company’s aims. The company’s strategic plan committed it to “significant growth” in the next five to 10 years.

“Overall the company’s goal is to enable our regional economy, empowering businesses to achieve their potential for the prosperity of all of us who live here.

“We’re Gisborne born-and-bred and proud to be. We like to think the company has a commercial mind but a community heart. We’ve already invested heavily in infrastructure to power Gisborne’s economy but we also look further to develop commercial opportunities, which include geothermal power stations in Kawerau and debarking operations in Whangarei.”

Marketing and communications manager Kathy McVey said the new brand story was designed to inspire staff, customers and wider East Coast community.

“The way the company has evolved has meant each business had ended up with its own logo but we’ve realised we’re stronger together, and need to build on that strength to achieve our growth aspirations. The new family of logos means we now appear as one cohesive group.”

Ms McVey said the new logo had a dual significance.

“It’s a stylised representation of the place we call home — the East Coast — and the colours reflect the natural colours of our region — the sun, sea, and land.

“The logo also symbolises the karearea, one of New Zealand’s most impressive birds. Like our native falcon, which can fly at speeds of up to 200km an hour, Eastland Group moves quickly to take action in our daily business operations but also when we’re seeking new business development opportunities.

“Our new positioning line, ‘we make it happen’, is a simple reflection of the work we do.”
