Netherlands-based Ahold Delhaize has won an award for Best Corporate Rebrand for its new visual identity, at the Transform Awards Europe, held in London.
The group took the award alongside FutureBrand in the 'best corporate rebrand following a merger or an acquisition' category.
"Our brand identity is how we bring Ahold Delhaize consistently and uniquely to life for all our internal and external stakeholders," commented Charles Davis, SVP of global communications for Ahold Delhaize.
"This award acknowledges the terrific work by the Brand team and FutureBrand, which were under tremendous pressure to create a compelling design as Ahold and Delhaize Group came together to form a great new company."
