Equinox - Open Library Initiative

Equinox - Open Library Initiative

Equinox had been growing steadily for the past few years, but they had a problem.  Their website and marketing materials were not effective.  Potential clients could not understand what they did and all their materials were branded inconsistently, making them hard to recognize and this was hampering their growth.

Branding

We worked with them to first fix their messaging, so that everything we created for them communicated properly. Next, we redid their branding, consolidating design ideas and styles into a branding guide. With the foundation established, we were able to design marketing materials and a website that worked.

Messaging/Branding

Equinox had a logo, but it wasn't professionally designed. We cleaned it up and standardized the colors and fonts. We also came up with a design theme based on a book and the HTML tag. For the message, we gave them the primary message: "Empower your Library with Open Source Technologies".

Marketing Materials

We made their marketing materials consistent with their marketing message and branding. Everything from their business cards to brochures were redesigned to meet their needs. You can see the design theme carry throughout the materials.

Website

Lastly, we redid their website, so that it better communicated their message. It also carried their design theme that we created for them. It has a modern progressive look with an open layout representative of their company culture and objectives.
