Project Overview

ShopScience is a well established consumer insights company specialising in the retail sector. We developed the brand essence ‘Translating insights into competitive advantage’ and then created a brand symbol to bring this idea to life. The structure of our brand symbol reflects ShopScience’s  rigorous, systematic approach – information gathering, analysis, and ultimately, the translation of insights into improvement strategies. The feeling of precision that is created by the fine lines and the spectrum of colours elude to the visual language of science.
