Red Roof Redesigns, Rededicates Itself with Digital Firm

To promote its fancy new renovated destinations, the Red Roof Inn’s gone digital with 360i, its Digital Agency of Record.

360i will be working on Red Roof’s online media and creative. We have yet to see either.

In the meantime, we can ooh and ahh at Red Roof’s new logo, which comes complete with a casual roofy slant, and a typeface probably modeled after the handwriting of a fresh-faced yachter.

Tell us if we’ve gone mad, but the logo rubs us wrong. Because isn’t it magenta?

Big difference between red (as in Red Roof) and magenta (as in Magenta). Way to make a fresh splash in the pool, Red Roof — total incongruity between your logo and brand name.

Anywho, the logo has been published on the redesigned and “rededicated” Red Roof website. It will also appear on inns that have recently been renovated. 360i washes its hands of it; the logo, it says, was in place before the agency was contracted.
