Odyssey Group, a Fairfax company, has introduced a revised brand identity, bringing Hudson and Newline into closer visual alignment with OdysseyRe and the wider group. The move reflects what the company describes as shared strength and long-standing values across the business.
Hudson Insurance Group and Newline Group, both Odyssey subsidiaries, have adopted the wave symbol tied to the group’s brand since 1996.
Odyssey said the mark reflects the path its companies have travelled with clients and business partners over time, as they entered new markets and kept moving forward.
The look has changed. Odyssey said its commitment to clients, disciplined underwriting, and financial strength has not.
The announcement comes as Odyssey marks its 30th anniversary as a Fairfax company.
Chief executive officer Carl Overy said the milestone created a chance to look back and set a clearer direction for the future.
He said the timing made sense for the subsidiaries to adopt a common identity and show stakeholders they operate as one group.
This milestone was an opportunity to reflect on our past and embrace the future. There was no better time for our subsidiaries to align with a common identity, making it clear to our stakeholders that we are one strong group.
Odyssey Group CEO, Carl Overy
Hudson president and chief executive officer Christopher Gallagher said the business kept a low profile for years, and when it stepped forward in the early 2000s, attention did not centre on its connection to the parent group.
He said adopting the parent company’s symbol now sends a direct signal about Hudson’s financial strength and long-term stability, which he described as added value for clients.
Newline chief executive officer Robert Pollock said the companies have grown more closely aligned and that using one shared symbol adds further weight to Newline as it moves into its next phase as an international insurer.
He said clients who choose Newline through Syndicate 1218 or its insurance company platforms get specialist expertise, along with the confidence of working with a partner backed by a global organisation.
Odyssey Group Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries, collectively referred to as Odyssey Group, is one of the world’s leading providers of reinsurance and specialty insurance.
Reinsurance is primarily underwritten through Odyssey Reinsurance Company and specialty insurance is underwritten through Hudson Insurance Company, Hudson Excess Insurance Company, Newline Insurance Company Limited, Newline Syndicate 1218 at Lloyd’s and Newline Europe Versicherung AG.
