Brand Identity Desk editors

close up of dark blue circuit board

A technology company's brand often falls behind its products. The lineup doubles, a hardware maker moves into software, or a platform reaches people its founders never planned for, and the logo and story stop matching what the company sells. The eight agencies below have done brand work for technology companies, from consumer electronics and wearables to design software, food science platforms, and creator platforms. Their routes in differ: a design system, a naming system, a launch campaign, or an identity designed together with the product website.

We compared them on four points: named technology brand work on each agency's own site, positioning drawn from what the product does, how well the brand copes with a growing lineup, and whether the agency publishes its prices.

Brand strategy, identity and design systems for platforms and fast-growing companies

Why it made the list

Wolff Olins, founded in London in 1965, is a brand consultancy that also works from New York, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Its practice covers brand strategy, culture strategy, verbal and visual identity, and physical environments, and it builds design systems alongside its identities. The one case its work index tags as tech is for a consumer electronics company, and it also created the visual identity for Patreon's move "from membership model to creator company." Its Blank Street project shows how it handles a company growing quickly: a brand idea, a logo system drawn from the original coffee cart, two typefaces, and an employee value proposition written as the business went from one cart to dozens of locations.

Who should shortlist Wolff Olins?

Tech companies whose business model is changing that want a brand strategy, identity and design system their product teams and agencies can all work from.

Launch-by-launch brand design for consumer wearables

Why it made the list

Founded in 1992 and part of Publicis Groupe, Turner Duckworth creates brand identities and packaging, mostly for food, drink and consumer goods. Its technology client is a consumer electronics maker's wearables line. For the watch, the earbuds and the wider device ecosystem, it wrote the campaign idea, design principles and guidelines, then produced product visuals, motion design, digital activations and launch-event assets, launch by launch. The studio's case treats wearables as personal objects, so the campaigns pair product features with emotion. Most of its other work is identity and packaging for food brands such as Khloud, a protein popcorn.

Brand strategy, identity and websites for technology platforms

Why it made the list

AKQA, founded in 1994 and owned by WPP, works across brand, digital product and experience design. For mParticle, a customer data platform, AKQA refined the brand strategy and narrative and wrote a manifesto and messaging strategy around "the joy of being seen and known." It then built a new visual identity system and designed the next version of the company's website. mParticle's own write-up says discovery covered stakeholder interviews, business, platform and category analysis, and competitive intelligence. For the cybersecurity company SentinelOne, AKQA designed a new identity around the tagline "Secure Tomorrow," and for the horticulture technology company Certhon it built a visual identity system around the idea "Grow as one."

Who should shortlist AKQA?

Technology companies whose product has outgrown its original story and that want the narrative, identity and website changed together.

Brand identities and digital experiences for AI-driven products

Why it made the list

R/GA, founded in 1977, combines brand, product and marketing work, with staff across nine countries. Its technology cases tend to center on products built on AI. For NotCo's Giuseppe, a platform that analyzes food at a molecular level to help scientists develop new formulas, R/GA made both the brand identity and the digital platform, building the visual system with AI image tools and writing the experience in simple language for consumers, partners and investors. For Founderland, which supports women of color founders in Europe and the UK, it made an AI web app called PAM, in which founders rehearse a pitch, get feedback on delivery, slides and content, and face simulated investor questions. That makes R/GA a fit for products that need explaining before they'll sell.

Who should shortlist R/GA?

Tech companies with a complex AI product that want the identity, the interface and the explanation built by one partner.

Brand strategy, visual identity and product website design for mid-market and enterprise tech companies

Why it made the list

Isadora Agency puts one senior team on positioning, identity and the website for mid-market and enterprise technology companies. Belkin's business division had a branding gap: it wasn't telling workplace buyers what the Belkin name already stood for. Isadora gave the division a positioning statement and a full brand deck, and applied it to sales materials and conference displays. Belkin also needed to show how its products work together, so Isadora concepted a microsite where users build a personalized workstation from eight categories, then buy through Belkin's online store.

For Ultimate Ears, Logitech's portable speaker brand, Isadora found the visual identity unfocused on the web, so it designed new mobile-first product and brand-story pages around it, and configured databases so updates move almost automatically across a site serving 21 locales.

Who should shortlist Isadora Agency?

Marketing leaders at hardware and software companies who want positioning, identity and the product website handled by one senior team, especially when products are sold together.

Parent-brand refreshes and product identity systems for software firms

Why it made the list

Wieden+Kennedy started in Portland in 1982. Most of its work is advertising, and its design team also takes on brand identity for software and platform companies. In 2021 it refreshed a maker of design and engineering software with more than 100 products whose users often didn't know the parent brand. The team began with stakeholder interviews and an analysis of the existing brand architecture, then set a new position, designed a three-dimensional symbol, and built a product identity system that places every product under the parent name. Its other clients include Travel Oregon and the Amsterdam photography museum Huis Marseille.

Who should shortlist Wieden+Kennedy?

Software companies with dozens of products that want users to recognize the company behind them, and a product identity system that keeps new releases in line.

Naming and identity for health technology and virtual-care companies

Why it made the list

Addison Whitney, part of Syneos Health Communications, names and brands companies, and nearly all of its clients work in health and life sciences. The technology clients it shows are in health. When the virtual behavioral health providers Insight Telepsychiatry and Regroup Telehealth merged, Addison Whitney created one brand for the combined company, named Array, that had to stand apart from a crowd of generic "tele" names. It gave the healthcare SaaS firm then called Omnipresence a new name, Exeevo, and an identity for its all-in-one customer experience platform. Its portfolio also lists Wave Life Sciences, and the firm runs a healthcare market research practice alongside its naming work.

Who should shortlist Addison Whitney?

Health technology companies facing a merger, a spin-off or a platform that has outgrown its name, where naming is the first decision.

Merger identities and brand architecture for hardware and software companies

Why it made the list

Moving Brands, founded in 1998, designs brands, digital products, and campaigns, and lists Apple, Google, Microsoft, and Netflix among its clients. When Makerbot and Ultimaker combined in 2021, the 3D printing company chose UltiMaker as its master brand. Moving Brands wrote the brand strategy and defined a new brand architecture and product portfolio structure across both legacy lines. The symbol draws on the forms of 3D printing hardware and reads as both a U and an M, and the palette keeps the red and blue of the existing portfolio, with a type system and layout rules built to evolve. Guidelines and motion design came with it.

For Vanta, a cloud security and compliance platform facing competitors with similar product claims, it repositioned the company as a partner for the whole security journey and built the identity around its llama mascot.

Who should shortlist Moving Brands?

Tech companies coming out of a merger that need one master brand and a clear structure for both product portfolios.

How to choose a branding agency

A tech brand should start from what the product does

Technology buyers usually meet the product before they form a view of the company, so the identity has to explain what the product does. AKQA settled mParticle's brand narrative and messaging strategy first, then built the identity and the website around them. R/GA made the identity and the digital platform together for NotCo's Giuseppe, a platform that analyzes food at a molecular level. Isadora started its work for an electronics maker's business division from qualities buyers already linked to the parent name, reliability and efficiency, and wrote them into a positioning statement. An identity that could belong to any software company hasn't done this work.

The parent brand has to make sense of the whole product lineup

Tech companies add products faster than they add brand rules, and customers lose track of who makes what. Wieden+Kennedy built a product identity system that places every product of a design and engineering software maker, more than 100 of them, under the parent name. The same electronics maker's version of the problem was a range of products meant to work together, and Isadora concepted a microsite where users assemble a workstation from compatible products. A good system leaves room for the next product.

The product website is where a tech rebrand gets judged

For many hardware and software companies the website is the main place buyers compare products, so a new identity is only as convincing as the pages carrying it. Isadora's project for a portable speaker brand rebuilt product and brand-story pages for phones first, since it expected most visitors to arrive on a mobile device, and pulled an inconsistent web identity back into line. AKQA designed the next version of mParticle's website as part of its rebrand. A branding agency that doesn't build websites leaves the site to another team, and that team should be in place before the identity is signed off.

What a tech rebrand costs

Isadora Agency is alone here in publishing prices. Its inquiry form opens branding and identity at $35K, with a second band from $61K, and opens website and product design at $95K. None of the other seven publishes a price. For a technology company the biggest variable is how far the brand reaches into the product. A new logo and guidelines are a far smaller job than an identity that also covers the app interface, the product website and a launch campaign, so each of those pieces deserves its own line in a quote.

Frequently asked questions

How much does branding cost for a tech company?

Branding for a tech company usually starts around $35,000, with website and product design work starting closer to $95,000. Most agencies on this page don’t publish prices. The scope question for a tech company is whether the brand work stops at the mark or continues into the interface, the website and launch assets.

How long does a tech company rebrand take?

There's no standard figure, and none of the eight agencies publishes one. In tech, product launch dates often set the schedule. Turner Duckworth produced a wearables line's product visuals and launch-event assets launch by launch, around each device release. Where products ship on a regular cycle, design principles can be set once and assets produced for each release. A plan that ties brand milestones to the product roadmap is more realistic than one built around the agency's calendar.

When does a tech company need a new name?

Most often when the old name describes a company that no longer exists, for example after a merger. When Insight Telepsychiatry and Regroup Telehealth combined, Addison Whitney named the new company Array, a name chosen to stand apart from generic "tele" brands. Many naming problems sit at the product level instead, and a naming system for the product line can sort them out while the company name stays. Renaming the company is the bigger and costlier step, so it's worth testing whether clearer product naming fixes the confusion first.

Does a tech brand need a design system?

Once several teams produce brand work, it usually does. Wolff Olins builds design systems alongside its identities. AKQA's work for mParticle paired a new visual identity system with the design of the company's next website. A design system governs the product interface too, so the product team belongs in the room before it's finished.

Should a tech rebrand include the product website?

In most cases it should, because the website is where buyers compare products and where an inconsistent brand shows first. Isadora Agency rebuilt Ultimate Ears' product and brand-story pages around a more consistent identity and set up the back end so changes reach all 21 locales with little manual work. R/GA made NotCo's Giuseppe brand identity and its digital platform together.

How can a tech company tell whether its rebrand is working?

Against a baseline taken before launch. Aided and unaided awareness surveys among target buyers show whether people recognize the new brand. Branded search and direct traffic show whether they go looking for it, and share of conversation picks up how often it comes up. For companies with many products, awareness of the parent brand is worth tracking separately from product names, because closing that gap is often the point of the rebrand.

What we looked for

We started from case studies on each agency's own website that name a technology client, whether a hardware maker, a software firm or a platform. Positioning drawn from the product itself counted for a lot, because a tech brand has to explain what it makes before anyone warms to it. We checked how each agency handles a growing product lineup, through architecture, naming or a design system. We considered whether the identity reaches the product website and interface, where most buyers meet it. Seniority counted where an agency says senior people do the work. Prices on the agency's own site, client names and awards with a year counted toward transparency. Those points reflect fit for a mid-market or enterprise technology company refreshing its brand.
