Challenge/Opportunity
Adding Value
Mindmill required a brand identity to reflect their plans for growth and development in the Recruitment market. The technology and product speak for themselves however the identity was dated and did not stack up alongside international competitors.
Process
Bespoke Design
We performed a competitor analysis and research stage into contemporary software brand idents before moving into the craft of the identity. We noticed that clarity, a bright palette and a translation of language was required for the brand to be understood more clearly. An overall simplification and definition was essential in the brand communications.
Solution
Brand Evolution
Mindmill's new brand identity is a bold mark paired with a vibrant palette and language system. We created the mark blending two ideas, representing the 'M' in Mindmill in an abstract fashion whilst reminding people of the 'Mill' with bespoke sail designs. Combining this sharp style with a softer type family was the perfect balance in representing this pioneering software business.
User Interface Design
Brand Assets
The Kaizen team were great, from initial scoping to the final delivery. Guiding us along the way, creating pitch perfect messaging and a striking creative adaptation of what we want to get across to our target audience. We immediately associated with the new brand, it just feels right and the response has been fantastic!"
