The Easter Bunny as the unmistakable face of the brand

Vaillant Group

Easter Sunday, 1899. Johann Vaillant is leafing through the monthly magazine Alte und Neue Welt at leisure. While scanning the pages, a picture catches his eye: a hare is escaping out of an Easter egg. Other little animals and comical dwarves stand around the egg and marvel at the miraculous hare. Johann Vaillant is so fascinated by this picture that he acquires the copyright to the curious Easter image – the hare is to become the trademark of his company from that point on. Since 1899, the hare has adorned Vaillant’s products, catalogues and brochures and ensures an unmistakable brand image. Today, the Vaillant hare is one of the best-known product logos in Europe.

The hare in the egg moves with the times

In its long history, the Vaillant logo has repeatedly been adapted to the zeitgeist and new printing processes. The first redesign takes place in 1929. Clear lines and contours make the hare appear more stylised and fit the architectural style of the time. The egg works as a frame to give the logo a clearly defined shape. In addition, the logo now also contains the lettering “Vaillant” and becomes what is known as a word-image mark. Finally, in 2020, the time has come: as the Vaillant logo is increasingly reproduced digitally, the hare has been visually rejuvenated; the egg is clearly recognisable as a contour and a modern, slimmer font provides more space between the letters for better readability, even on smartphones. The 3D effect with gradient has been omitted, but the traditional Vaillant green has remained.
