Aptum Rebrand 2019
Cogeco sold their internet service provider, business wing 'Cogeco Peer 1' to Digital Colony which wanted a complete rebrand to distance themselves from Cogeco. They commissioned a UK firm to rename the company to 'Aptum Technologies' and design the new logo. StrategicAmpersand was asked to present a proposal for the rebrand after winning the PR business for the new company launch. After receiving the new logo design from the UK firm, I thought we should present an alternative where the letterform was cleaned up to offer a more contemporary feel and suggested a colour change to give more contrast and achieve a less dated feel as well. Aptum approved my proposed design alt before it was submitted for registration.

The following is a few pages from the 28 page brand guidelines I created. Because they are a technology company and already had the emphasis on the 't' in the logo I thought it made sense to use that as a key brand element. Images would be presented in a circle or 'porthole' as it was derivative of the logo's rounded letterform. To break away from typical internet service provider imagery Cogeco Peer 1 (now Aptum) and their competitors were using, I suggested using natural metaphors to depict the core values of Aptum: Adapt, Inspire, Grow, Connect and Community. The grid pattern was derivative of the red underline in the logo and was created to help reinforce Aptum's key deliverable: Connectivity.

Here are a few samples of the collateral design where I've applied the new branding. I've rebranded over 300 pieces since the new brand was approved, including white papers, data sheets, success stories, sales playbooks, technical descriptions, etc. All final pieces we're delivered as clickable pdfs and packaged source files.
