COLLABORATION APPROACH
Citriq worked closely with Ripple Operations on a focused project-based approach, delivering a refreshed logo design while ensuring a seamless transition that preserved brand recognition.
BRIEF
Ripple Operations, a leading Crew Success platform in the global maritime industry, sought to modernize and refine their brand identity to align with their innovative values and growth.
Citriq was chosen as a creative partner to execute a soft rebranding of Ripple Operations’ logo. This strategic approach involved refining existing brand elements—such as the logo icon and typography—without completely overhauling the visual identity.
Soft rebranding ensures a smooth transition for stakeholders by maintaining brand recognition while addressing modern usability and design standards.
The objective was to enhance the clarity, scalability, and visual appeal of the logo while preserving the core essence of Ripple Operations’ established identity.
The Challenge
Ripple Operations’ logo, though recognizable, faced limitations in terms of scalability and adaptability across digital and print platforms.
With the company expanding its global reach, it became crucial to refine the logo to reflect its forward-thinking approach while ensuring it performed well across all mediums.
The challenge was to achieve this transformation through a soft rebranding—updating the design with subtle yet impactful refinements that preserved the familiarity and trust associated with the brand.
THE SOLUTION
Citriq executed a meticulous soft rebranding process, focusing on:
-
Simplified Icon Design: The abstract icon was refined to enhance scalability, legibility, and versatility across platforms.
-
Enhanced Typography: Adjustments to spacing and alignment created a harmonious balance between the icon and the text.
-
Reinforced Brand Positioning: Adding “Operations” to the logo emphasized the company’s mission and clarified its role in the maritime industry.
-
Updated Color Palette: The colors were subtly optimized to improve contrast and vibrancy, ensuring the logo appeared consistent and impactful in all formats.
Soft rebranding allowed Ripple Operations to modernize their identity without losing the elements that made the brand recognizable to their audience.
The Result
-
Improved Brand Recognition: The updated logo retained its recognizable elements while achieving a polished and professional appearance.
-
Versatile Design: The refined logo now adapts seamlessly across digital and print platforms, ensuring consistent communication.
