Approach

After the Hamburg branding agency loved had already developed the corporate design basics, it was up to us to explore and manifest them. For digital, print, and motion - and in over 1,000 templates for worldwide use. In addition to defining layout systems and typographic styles, we also had to adapt the existing visual language and develop a new visual style. The new brand design was then implemented in datasheets and brochures, catalogs, and technical notes. In collaboration with Studio UNFOLD, a motion branding system, 3D visuals, and animations as well as product films were created. The redesign was recorded in a digital branding guideline.

Based on the existing corporate design, we developed a layout system for over 1,000 templates for worldwide use.

A holistic motion branding system defined the style of 3D visuals, animations, and product films.

For current biotech topics, three-dimensional campaign motifs were created that bring complex, scientific content to the point in a simplified way.

Objective, but human: We designed an individual illustration style for the presentation of products and applications.
