About Hmart

About Hmart

Hmart, a number one Asian grocery store chain in North America, originated from South Korea, is known for its wide range of authentic Asian products. For this project, we revamped Hmart’s brand identity to emphasize its unique position in the market.

Problem

The brand identity doesn’t effectively represent the chain’s identity.

The brand has built a solid presence with Asian customers and now hopes to connect with a wider, non-Asian audience.

Solution

The logo represents H (Hanahreum), meaning “an arm full”, symbolizing abundance and reflecting the grocery’s essence.

The identity reflects the "Asian feel" while staying neutral to appeal to a wider audience.

It’s a place where anyone can feel at ease while exploring cultural items from all over the world without the space belonging to just one culture. Wherever you are, feel the comfort and belonging of Hmart.
