Redefining eComms:

a new playful brand identity

Client: eComms

eComms is a telecommunications company, under the BTB Australia umbrella, that specialises in providing innovative communication solutions and services directly to customers.

The objective

Since eComms is an umbrella brand of BTB, they aim to establish a distinct identity to avoid looking or sounding the same. While BTB is focused on business-to-business interactions, eComms is directed towards direct, customer-facing engagement. To achieve this, their goal was to move away from a corporate aesthetic and adopt a more approachable, consumer-friendly brand style.

The solution

Unlike BTB Australia’s corporate aesthetic, eComms uses lively illustrations, including astronauts, to create a playful, approachable brand that embodies exploration and innovation. With bright, accessible colours, eComms offers a fresh, modern look that contrasts with BTB Australia’s more traditional style. The simplified logo enhances accessibility and flexibility, making it adaptable and consumer-friendly.

The outcome

As a result of these design strategies, eComms consistently creates a compelling user experience across multiple applications, from digital platforms to print materials. This approach enhances understanding of its products and services while fostering trust and engagement with its audience, ultimately leading to a more informed and confident customer base.

Rebranding eComms

Old look and feel

The previous design was dark, serious, and geared toward B2B customers. The client wanted a more personable brand that appealed to consumers and stood out from both competitors and its corporate sister. The limited blue color palette also posed accessibility issues, making it hard for a wider audience to engage.

New look and feel

I introduced a fresh, fully WCAG-tested color palette to brighten the brand and make it more approachable. The style guide includes clear guidelines for text colors and sizes. I updated the outdated font to a modern typeface, reflecting the brand’s cutting-edge services. Illustrations were added to convey the brand’s offerings in a fun, relatable way, capturing attention without being overly technical.

Logo refresh

Old logo

The previous logo presented several challenges, including the use of gradients that hindered printing and complicated file size management. The ecomm text was too small, forcing the logo to be oversized just to maintain legibility. Additionally, the logo wasn’t WCAG-compliant due to poor text size and color choices, limiting accessibility.

New logo

I revamped the logo by removing the gradients and the enclosing circle around the ‘ecomms’ text, resulting in a clean, text-based design. This improved size and legibility, making the logo more versatile. The text color was updated to a green tone, differentiating it from the B2B sister brand. The new color was WCAG-tested, proving more legible and accessible. With the circle removed, the logo size could be increased for better readability and WCAG compliance.
