Hathway Cable & Datacom Limited, commonly known as Hathway, is an Indian cable television and broadband service provider based in Mumbai and promoted by the Raheja Group.[1] The company’s visual identity centers on a typographic wordmark, with the brand name itself serving as the primary logo element.
Design and History
Hathway’s identity is built around a wordmark treatment of the company name. The company registered both the wordmark “Hathway” and the combined mark “Hathw@y” as Indian trademarks on 3 February 2000, under serial numbers 901401 and 901402 respectively, in class 9 of the International Classification of Goods and Services.[2] The “Hathw@y” combined mark, which incorporates the “@” symbol in place of the letter “a,” reflects the company’s positioning as an internet and digital services provider during the early broadband era.
The company was formerly known as BITV Cable Networks before adopting the Hathway name.[2] Hathway entered the cable and entertainment industry in 1995 and was the first cable ISP in India.[2] The current logo, as displayed on the company’s official website, continues to use the typographic wordmark approach.[3]
Meaning and Symbolism
Hathway’s official color palette consists of two colors: Dark Cornflower Blue (#19468A) and Crimson (#CE000C).[4] The blue is documented as the dominant color in the identity, with the crimson serving as a supporting accent.[4] The two-color scheme provides contrast across the brand’s digital and print applications.
The “Hathw@y” combined mark registered in 2000 incorporates the “@” symbol, a visual reference to internet addressing conventions of the period, tying the brand name directly to its broadband and connectivity services.[2]
Typography and Design
The Hathway identity relies on a typographic wordmark format, placing the brand name at the center of the visual identity. The wordmark is designed to maintain legibility across digital platforms, print materials, and corporate communications.[3] No specific typeface name or designer attribution for the wordmark has been publicly documented in available sources.
