THE NON-REBRAND REBRAND; OR, HOW TO FRESHEN UP YOUR BRAND WITHOUT A NEW LOGO.

A rebrand doesn’t have to be a completely new logo design. Because branding is made up of so many more elements than just your logo, by changing any of the core elements of what it is that makes up your visual identity you can completely refresh the look of your brand without having to lose the heritage and history of your brand.   A logo should always be designed to stand the test of time. A logo is not the place to try out the Pantone colour of the year, or that new drawing technique just released by Adobe Illustrator, despite what your design student niece might tell you.

From their website to social media and print design, giving them a bold new look was simple – without having to change their well recognised and long-standing logo. Similarly for Objective Corporation. By updating the layout of all of their marketing materials, incorporating new brand imagery and playing on their long-standing brand colour through the use of a tonal palette, they were able to refresh their brand without losing a logo that has so much weight in a marketing in which they have operated for years. In both cases, these changes are neither simple nor subtle – in fact, they are quite dramatic, and as such, make a huge impact on the presence of and perception of the brand. And sometimes, that may be exactly what your brand needs to…

OBJECTIVE CORPORATION REBRAND

  A corporate re-brand is not something that happens overnight. Generally speaking, corporate rebrands come about because either there has been a significant change in thinking about the way that the business operates, where you are positioning your brand in the market or that there has been enough time that your branding is starting to look a bit dated.
