It’s all about the brand
Establishing a look to compliment the personality.
Every brand element is carefully crafted to support the underlying brand message and reinforce the brand perception.
Color Palette
— Existing Primary Color Palette —
While the blue and gray tones evoke honesty and sophistication, they can also feel overly tranquil and even somber on their own—falling short of capturing the vibrant, creative, and ambitious energy that reflects the innovative minds behind the brand.
— New Secondary Color Palette —
Energy
Passion
Caring
Courage
Excitement
Creativity
Adventure
Enthusiasm
Warmth
Productivity
Growth
Stability
Safety
Ambition
Harmony
To infuse energy into the brand palette, accent colors were thoughtfully chosen to embody key attributes that the primary palette lacked.
Typography
— New Typography —
The new primary and secondary typefaces beautifully complement the logo, striking a perfect balance between boldness and sophistication.

Imagery
— Photography Style —
Imagery should highlight innovation with a focus on visionary thinkers within the industries served.


— Other Visual Elements —
Technical drawings and subtle particle line backgrounds are also utilized and may incorporate the secondary colors.
