Ritz Charles Brand Refresh

Timeless + Distinctive Visual Identity

To pair with the strengthened messaging, PMG developed a refreshed visual identity designed to feel both timeless and distinctive. The stand-out component to the updated logo is a hand-drawn portico icon – an intentional nod to the iconic architectural feature that has become synonymous with the Ritz Charles experience. For generations of guests, their portico has served as the welcoming entrance to weddings, celebrations, and special occasions. By bringing it into the brand mark, the identity connects the company’s visual presence with the physical place and memories people already associate with Ritz Charles.

The updated logo, new font pairings, and expanded color palette were combined with supporting design elements and a curated visual mood board into a visual brand guide. This guide equips the Ritz Charles team with a clear framework to maintain a polished, cohesive look and feel as the brand continues to evolve.

Together, the messaging and visual system create a strong, long-term foundation that strengthens brand recognition, aligns internal teams, and ensures the Ritz Charles story is told consistently across every platform. With this strategic clarity in place, the brand is well positioned to support future marketing initiatives, digital platforms, and continued growth in an increasingly competitive hospitality and events landscape.

As Jenny Nicholls, Ritz Charles owner + managing operator, shared the impact of PMG’s work is already being felt across the Ritz Charles brand: “PMG provided us with a brand refresh and website that perfectly captures who we are as a company. Our new website is everything we envisioned and more – elevated, refined, modern and visually stunning. The PMG team also developed a brand guide giving us a clear and cohesive direction moving forward. They did an exceptional job updating our brand into one that feels sophisticated and inviting.

We continue to value this partnership and look forward to working together for years to come as they continue to support and maintain our digital presence!”

Photography + Video Production

PMG led the production of a photography and video shoot on-site at Ritz Charles during a beautifully designed, live event that allowed key aspects of the business to be captured including culinary arts, top-notch hospitality, beautiful venues, event design and the event planning process. Michael Durr Photo/Video conducted the videography work with the support of Daniel Woody as drone videographer, and David Pluimer captured photography. The photo and video assets are evergreen and utilized on the company’s new website, social media channels, and sales and marketing collateral.
