Strengthening the brand through a new corporate design

Idea development, concept and creation

Following a generational change on both the client and agency sides, we made use of archetype analysis to clarify and refine the Schubert brand, and then we redeveloped all communication. Strong light-dark contrasts support the company’s resolve and seemingly magical ability to build the most complex and self-controlling packaging systems. Strong diagonals underscore the future orientation and distinctiveness of the brand.

A stage for magically compelling machines

Idea development, concept and creation

Multiple diagonal lines underscore the brand’s dynamism and future orientation. Against a dark backdrop, the machines, which are lit up from inside, appear all the more impressive and intelligent. A client who stands out from the industry due to its high innovative strength and very independent technological path. Our aim was to create an exhibition stand that highlights this position and courageously distinguishes itself from the very matter-of-fact environments of the other exhibitors.
