To create a cohesive and professional image across all our travel retail outlets, we operate under the unified brand name ‘Horizon.’ The Horizon logo embodies our core values and vision.

Central to the logo icon are sun rays and a rising sun, which evoke a sense of new beginnings and adventure associated with travel. A gift bow signifies the joy of gifting—a key part of shopping abroad—while a shopping bag highlights the convenience and enjoyment of the retail experience.

Together, these elements form a visual identity that resonates with our customers and stakeholders, creating a seamless brand presence across all touchpoints.
