Over the past 16 years, our company has dramatically expanded in size and capabilities. We’ve spent the past year assessing the huge breadth of work we’ve done, figuring out what we are good at, and making sure that we could clearly articulate our story. We engaged the branding agency, Ignyte, for their creativity, expertise and external perspective. Our expert team of strategists, designers, and engineers have worked together to execute this rebrand and relaunch of <a href="https://www.codazen.com/">codazen.com</a>. We’re excited to show you all the changes we’ve made.

<h1 aria-level="2">Seeing “Digital” in 5 Seconds&nbsp;</h1>
Our employees loved our previous logo. I loved our previous logo. It was rich and complex and steeped in meaning. I could talk for 15 minutes about all the meaning behind it. It was hard for us to change. So why did we change it?

As a digital innovation company, we want people to recognize and remember the “digital” nature of our brand within 5 seconds. We don’t have 15 minutes to explain it. In addition, we needed to convey the premium, global scale of our services.

With that goal in mind, our designers crafted our new logo, using monospaced, condensed typography to give an upscale, exclusive feel to the brand, while reinforcing the digital aspects of the work we do.

The cursor line on the logo pays homage to command-line interfaces and text editors and teases what’s to come. The cursor is where thoughts become code, where ideas become copy – an origin point for creativity, for value creation, and a source of constant change.
Using this dynamic nature of the cursor, we also designed a simple typing transition from the full logo into an icon form. Once we started riffing off these concepts, there was no turning back. If you want to excel at innovation, you need to practice the art of letting go.

<h1 aria-level="2">New Color Scheme</h1>

With our new branding also comes a new color scheme. We used our proprietary generative AI color tool (we’ll be sharing more on that next week) to choose a color palette that matched emotive words like: zen (90.3%), confident (89.4%), and agile (88.2%) – a word that has an appropriate and special meaning in our line of work. Smart, clear, and modern also ranked high.
