The Hiscox emblem is a red fleur-de-lys, which is a historical symbol of royalty and Holy Trinity. Being drawn in red it also shows the company’s energy and passion, as well as warmth, with which they treat their customers.
The Hiscox logo is an example of elegance and finesse. Starting the classic color combination and the use of a traditional heraldic symbol, and finishing with the neat yet perfect typeface.
It is a strong and confident visual identity design, which reflects the stability and high quality of the Hiscox services.
