A new year; a new us!
2017 was just the beginning of the exciting new changes for King Cole. We’re very happy to finally show off our new logo to you.
Combining the old with the new; we’ve kept the familiar crown that makes us so unique, but incorporated a much needed element of the industry through the ball of wool and knitting needles.
Refreshing the colour scheme gives it an overall cleaner, modern design, and is sure to make it stand out from the crowd!
The logo will be rolling out across all mediums: from pattern leaflets to letterheads, social media to stockist posters, you won’t be able miss it.
We hope you love the logo as much as we do and share it with everyone you meet.
