Security

Brand Guides

Developing brand resource guidelines for better alignment in product, sales, and marketing.


Challenge

When I joined the Security design team, they had just finished a huge rebrand for the entire business unit (worldwide).

A rebrand, at the global level, is non-trivial. Think of all the marketing presentations, demos, links, email signatures, and digital assets that needed an update – there was a lot of ground to cover.

With a short amount of time, and limited team resources, we need to figure out how to provide brand guidance for nearly 8,000 security workers across the business unit.

Solution

We designed and built a whole new guide that not only leveraged the latest Security branding, but also used modern application standards and the latest Carbon Design System components.
