This article is not meant to be a manual, a guide, or a collection of marketing-branded deliverables. It can’t be everything but it’s the result of hard work, passion, dedication and countless coffee cups.

Branding is a dynamic, iterative process. While we’re still on this journey, the intent is to provide a retrospective view at some of the decisions we made and the effort to bring incremental value through design as well as a sneak peek at the core elements of our refreshed visual language.

The Opportunity

We launched our new website in October 2021. The Eigen Marketing team worked with Built by Buffalo to give our users a completely new digital experience. It enabled us to enhance the amount of desired actions our website core audiences take while also efficiently complementing our content marketing strategy and SEO efforts.

Delivering a new website was only the beginning of a broader journey for the Eigen brand in the life and growth of a business. It was an opportunity to take some of the website-specific concepts and expand them beyond a digital application, with the goal of refreshing all the foundational identity elements (both internal and external) that impact the entire brand experience.

Generally speaking a brand is defined by individuals, not by companies or markets. Each person creates his or her own version of it. While companies can’t control this process, they can definitely influence it as brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time.

Setting up the foundations

While we’ve decided to keep some of the basic aspects that led us here, we were ready to take a step forward in our visual identity system for a variety of reasons.

  • Improve accessibility on high-res screens
  • Compliment the redesign of our visual hierarchy
  • Visually communicate our tone of voice to a wider audience, whilst still retaining recognition as Eigen Technologies
  • Allow our visual identity system to be more flexible for future applications
