    The main problem of the logo was the mismatch of the image and the task: the sign resembles a bunch of faceless blockchain logos, it looks strict and unfriendly. We would like this project to look more friendly.


    Before / After

    As the key images, we chose the “smiles” and “dots” that are characteristic of computer vision software. Different colors of “dots” show a variety of emotions - this technique can be used in the entire corporate identity.

    A font with soft forms emphasizes openness for communication, and writing the name in lowercase makes the logo less detached from consumers.

    The result is a modern and friendly sign that invites the consumer to interact.

    2. Device: add recognition

    Unfortunately, there wasn’t a lot of information, so we will focus on fixing obvious errors.

    Such a logo is quite difficult to distinguish from any other logo for repairing equipment, we decided to add a key color.


    Before / after

    In addition, we made the graphics easier due to the thin font and lowercase letters, and made the sign more accurate.

    The logo turned out to be modern and now causes the necessary association in the eyes of the consumer.

    3. RocketExpress: simplify graphics

    The main drawback of the old logo is outdated graphics. Now it looks too detailed and childish. Based on the general tendency towards simplification, we got rid of all the excess in the sign by constructing a form based on geometric primitives.


    Before / after

    To create a recognizable image, we left only red and dark gray as company colors, and we chose yellow for emphasizing.

    With simplified graphics, the logo has become much easier to use.
