WWIRE Brand Design
Original logo pre redesign
The assignment was to redesign the existing brand as part of total rebrand campaign, that included logo, website, video and other marketing materials. The new brand needed to reflect empowerment of women in the workplace while maintaining elements of the old brand so that members and prospects familiar with the organization would feel a continuity from the old brand to the new.
Design Exploration
A variety of type styles, colors and icons were explored. The lotus symbol was maintained as a representation of wellness, but the style was modernized. The logo includes 2 W characters that were confusing and hard to read I the original. Considered solutions needed to make that character set more readable and understandable. The original logo used a type style that was thin and weak when used at smaller sizes. Type styles were suggested that created a stronger visual presence when used in positive or negative applications.
Final Design
SpinUp Brand Design
As the newest entry into the crowded Simple Cloud Provider space, what was to become “SpinUp”
needed a brand name, logo and multi-touch campaign to drive interest and subscribers.
Brand Name/Logo Design
A broad range of names were presented, with ‘SpinUp’ selected as final. It has the double connotation of a startup business and a reference to ‘spinning up’ a new server. A range of logo designs were developed and presented, all representing the brand position in different ways. A final direction was selected and full logo set developed.
Expand style guide, establish social media presence
A visual library was developed for the new SpinUp brand and applied to relevant social media platforms.
Acquisition Campaign
With the brand established, a robust campaign was put into market to drive awareness and subscriptions.

Atari Rebrand
With the acquisition of the ATARI brand by Infogrames, the case was made to change the US operations name officially to Atari as it offered premium brand recognition over the little known french gaming company. The reborn Atari needed to reconnect with the gaming public and help them understand what this long sleeping icon stood for in a new era of video games. A new brand mark was developed along with a series of promotional pieces including posters, websites, in-store and broadcast were developed using the iconic Fuji symbol, designed to breathe new life into the Atari name.
Promotional posters were designed to appeal to every segment of gamer - hardcore RPG to skater/sport to kids, and everyone in between.
Atari's mission was to publish gaming content across all devices and for all audiences - from Hasbro branded properties like Scrabble and Monopoly to classics like QBert and Missile Command to next-gen driving games like Need for Speed. To communicate this, we developed the tagline "Everybody Plays".
A new ATARI brand mark was developed along with a thorough style guide to inform on usage for all mediums
