Branding Brand Strategy Art Direction

Brand identity for Groupe Loisirs Solutions, a company that runs three golf courses. They needed one name and one look to tie everything together, while still appealing to golfers, families and people who just want a nice lunch outdoors.

The Context

Three golf courses in the same region, each doing its own thing visually. Different logos, different materials, no link between them. The goal was to bring them under one brand so marketing actually adds up, without flattening what makes each spot different.

The Challenge

Two things to solve. Give a shared identity to three locations that looked totally separate. And shake off the "golf is exclusive" feeling to also bring in families and first-timers.

Brand Pillars

  • Accessibility: Golf without the attitude. Open to everyone.
  • Services: Show off the grounds and the restaurants, not just the holes.
  • Consistency: One brand, three locations.
  • Warmth: Make non-golfers feel like they belong too.

My Approach

The logo is a leaf that forms an "E", with a dot above it for the golf ball. Deep-to-light green gradient, like the landscape of the courses themselves. The typeface leans upscale on purpose, but the overall feel stays approachable. Someone who's never held a club should still feel welcome.

Results

Unified Communication

Same materials, same tone, same visual language across all three courses. Each spot keeps its own character, but the group finally speaks as one.

Broader Audience

The nature-and-wellness angle opens the door to people who'd never set foot on a golf course. Families, foodies, curious visitors. Golf as a destination, not just a sport.

Consistent Image

Website, course signage, polo shirts, caps - everything comes from the same set of guidelines. It looks like a real brand now, not three separate clubs.
