Insights
In the underwater battlespace, a technological revolution is taking place. Defence of the deep is increasingly remote, autonomous, unmanned and networked. Forcys are positioning themselves in this space – a newly aggregated alliance of innovators from across a leading marine engineering group.
Forcys is a specialist tech house launching into a crowded market populated by the biggest names in defence engineering, so their brand needed to convey instant credibility. We employed our rigorous brand-building methodology to ensure this credibility was presented authentically and persuasively.
Modern and exciting hand-crafted font design with integrated symbol that represents:
2. Target sight / periscope view placing the logo within the defence sector
3. Segments of the ‘O’ imply surveillance + sonar + navigation + positioning + imaging + supply chain
4. Team working | Global | Integration | Protection | Partnership
5. Character: Confident | Authoritative | Timeless | Established | Stylish
6. Easy to reproduce
Building on an elegantly handcrafted, multi-faceted logotype, the Forcys visual identity conveys calm, competent expertise in a sector where this is paramount. At the same time, the visual styling and tone of voice capture the bold, disruptive nature of the brand offering of a company that is moving underwater defence into a new era.

Like everything else, brands age. The brand that was right when you started out may no longer align to the organisation you’ve become. Businesses evolve, grow, diversity and refocus. Markets change as well as customer expectations. The people you are selling to today may be very different from those of a few years ago, and the brand needs to keep up. Is your message and visual identity still relevant to where you are today? For many companies, it‘s not. How about yours?

Our bold and confident logo design followed a naming and strategic brand positioning exercise defining Azneo’s guiding principles and beliefs. We worked with the Azneo team from Asia, developed brand language guidelines and a visual identity guide including fonts and colour palette. Their fresh, new visual style manifested in a new e-commerce website – azneo.com
Azneo get it. People want to shop ethically produced, hand made products from around the world. They’ve got big dreams, dreams of making the world a better place. But for now, they’re focused on making the world of retail a healthier, happier environment, where shoppers and artisans both win; bridging the gap between talented creators the world over and ethical shoppers, both of whom deserve more than the old retail landscape is offering. They’re rewriting the rules of retail.
