Project Overview

Consistency is the key in brand recognition

I was brought on to help amplify ACE's sales enablement strategy. The team and its users expressed their desire to evolve ACE into a more refined brand and revamp its visual identity. Being the sole designer on the team, I was involved in end to end design process for each of these below mentioned design deliverables.

Logo

My first and  foremost after joining the team was to redesign a logo that is simple and modern. The current team logo was dated and, did not reflect the sentiments of the users for ACE’s brand and voice. The redesigned logo is modern, clean and reflects the true essence of  the ACE team.

Infographics

The new infographic template designed helped bring consistency in the communications across the touchpoints for ACE. The design enables clear information hierarchy through typography, layout and color blocking. It helps the users to navigate through the content easily. The use of brand colors and typography and  helps reduce the cognitive load and create a sense of familiarity for the users.

Virtual Backgrounds

Cisco is a leader in the collaboration tools. Video conferencing devices and applications are widely used for internal communications as well as for meetings with clients. These virtual backgrounds that I designed were inspired by a variety of themes such as Cisco Collaboration suite , and fun holidays.

ACE SharePoint Banners

Placed strategically at the top of ACE webpages, these banners serve a dual purpose: illustrating the page's content and providing users with a sense of location within the website, bridging the gap left by the absence of breadcrumbs in SharePoint.

ACE Newsletter

The new design prioritizes user experience with clear readability, well-defined sections, and intuitive information organization. Additionally, icons and images enhance comprehension by providing visual context.

ACE PowerPoint Template

The new Powepoint template is clean modern and has variety of layouts to choose from.

Intro video for ACE Podcast

ACE hosts and publishes a podcast every month for its users, I created the logo and intro video for the podcast.
