Project overview

The challenge
Good technicians with a brand that looked like every other IT firm: blue gradients and padlocks.
Brand direction
Calm engineering. Midnight and mint, simple diagrams, plain language.
Creative approach
A keystone mark, a lowercase geometric wordmark, and educational posts that are actually useful.
Design decisions
Mint is used like a status light: it always means "this is fine" or "look here".
