New Logo, New Name for Royal Hawaiian Center
S
tarting Feb. 1, the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center officially changed its name to Royal Hawaiian Center. There’s also a new logo, signaling that the Center offers more than just shopping and is setting the new mood of Waikïkï as a gathering place for visitors and locals. “The Center has transformed both physically and operationally as a more uniquely Hawaiian place, and this new logo reflects that change,” said Rosalind Schurgin, CEO of The Festival Companies, manager and developer of Royal Hawaiian Center. As the Center, owned by Kamehameha Schools, completes its $115 million revitalization this spring, the new identity will appear in both its name and logo. The new logo is a blend of past and present, and symbolizes Royal Hawaiian Center’s return to the heritage of Helumoa in Waikïkï. The logo also reflects the mound that has been created at The Royal Grove. It is a gathering place where people can relax, people watch and enjoy the Center’s performances, cultural classes and ethnobotanical gardens. For more, visit (www.Royal HawaiianCenter.com).
The Royal Hawaiian Center’s $115 million renovation is scheduled for completion in the first quarter of 2008.
