The previous Holmer logo featured the word “exxact,” but it was decided to remove it and only use it to refer to Agrifac field robotics. The brand’s corporate identity now focuses on its name, in honor of company founder Alfons Holmer. The lettering is in a geometric square font similar to Banker Square Bold from FontSite Inc. or Bank Gothic Medium from ParaType. Next to the name is a stylized beet, as the company specializes in beet harvesters. The beets consist of two bright red triangles.
The red triangles are like little sparks that catch the eye and make you think about what Holmer does. The square font is reminiscent of building blocks, simple and reliable. Perfect for a company that makes sturdy and reliable machines for farming.
