The 8PTS team conducted a brand strategy workshop to clarify Benchstrength’s positioning and set clear direction for the visual brand. The brand direction reflects a sense of empowerment and innovation along with a Gen Z desire to disrupt the status quo around diversity.
The Benchstrength color palette has been developed to convey high-performance, community impact and growth. Blues and greens, both financial colors, have been shifted to appear modern and future-forward yet trustworthy. The graphic system uses bold, large-scale linework, all caps typography and unique shapes to communicate a sense of strength paired with straightforward clarity.
