Logo design and art direction for the new visual identity of the world's leading outdoor brand, in collaboration with David Benedek, Ricardo Ferrol and the team at Salomon in Annecy, France.
The rebranding made its debut at the Olympics Winter Games in Beijing 2022 with the Blue Fire Collection for all athletes. Big thanks to David Farcot and the whole team at Salomon.
2021–2023
“The redesigned wordmark is a respectful nod to both the heritage 80's logo and Neville Brody's 90's graphic work for Salomon. Carefully crafted towards future-proof impact and maximum precision, the new identity is a workhorse that builds a base for all sub-brands such as Salomon Advanced and S/Lab for which I was honored to design new logos as well.”

“The way we look at the Lu’u Dan man, he’s a bad boy but he’s got a big heart,” says Hung La. “There’s an emotional intelligence to him. It’s not just surface, it’s not the kung fu gangster you know; there’s depth to this man, and I think there’s spirituality to him as well.”

The mission of the platform is to inspire starting by producing stories from around the world on making, discipline and self-care through the lens of makers and creators of today. (Interview in VOGUE)
2016–2024
The inaugural issue was published in 2019, the magazine is currently sold in 20+ countries on five continents, and was nominated for Launch of the Year at the Stack Awards in London. In 2021 we have released Issue 2.
“PRESENT is for all makers and dreamers. For all dreamers who make. For anyone creating something and challenging themselves on purpose. We share ways of overcoming procrastination and self-doubts that hold us back from being truly present and tackle our favorite unrealized projects.”
As creative director and head of design at Newcoin, Hugo developed the cultural direction and visual identities for a growing ecosystem of 15+ brands and projects.
Visual identities, design systems, website development, UI/UX for a wide range of apps. Newfoundation is a regenerative ecosystem for the aspiration economy.

2020–2021
Since back in the 90s, when I grew up, my mother has always been a full-on Apple fan and this definitely left a mark on me until today. I think she would be proud :)
“I’m grateful to the team at Apple for the opportunity to be part of dream projects. The people I had the chance to work with were absolutely incredible. Big thank  to everyone involved.”
