WANdisco

Brand Transformation —
A Great Leap Forward.

WANdisco (now Cirata) helps companies seamlessly migrate data and metadata to any cloud without any interruptions or disruptions to their business operations. As a design director at WANdisco, my responsibilities included creating the visual identity and supervising the development of various marketing initiatives, advertising campaigns, promotional materials, sales resources, and digital assets. Additionally, I played a crucial part in ensuring brand coherence.

Disclaimer: This project does not necessarily represent the current brand visual identity as the original identity had been modified over the years.

The Challenge

WANdisco corporate website was due for a transformation that would reflect the maturity of our products and readiness to take off. Our Creative Team led the way in creating a captivating marketing campaign for our groundbreaking product, LiveData Migrator. Its success depended on reviving our website, which had become outdated, no longer in tune with our brand’s identity. We aimed to transform it from a dull and dreary place into a vibrant manifestation of our innovative cloud computing enterprise. To add to the excitement, we challenged ourselves to launch the new website within a tight and compressed timeline.

The Approach

We collaborated with an external agency to come up with a new visual concept that tells the WANdisco brand story. We aimed to represent data in a way that doesn’t rely on common cliches such as pictures of clouds, server rooms, and happy people on computers. Our goal was to create a visual design language that conveys authority, seriousness, modernity, credibility, and the scientific/engineering aspects of our work. As a result, we developed a concept presented in a pictorial form using geometric shapes and icons. The design elements were based on the WANdisco logo mark, the orange diamond shape, which we extended to a variety of squared shapes. This design is extensible to the entire site.

Before and After

The brand elements were extended to a variety of mediums to show the new design flexibility and creativity beyond stock photography. When using photography can be combined with iconography shapes and patterns. The color palette was expanded to give more dynamic and freshness to the overall look and feel. This brand refresh brought transformation to WANdisco’s brand.
