Squadra Solutions

BRAND DESIGN/VISUAL DESIGN

Project Overview

Squadra Solutions, a Bluetext client, is a cybersecurity and IT consulting firm trusted by federal agencies, enterprises, and universities. But their brand didn’t reflect the level at which they operate. They needed an identity that matched their expertise as top-tier cybersecurity architects and engineers. I designed a flexible and engaging brand identity system that positions Squadra exactly where they belong: as a modern, dependable, first-class firm that provides solutions that relentlessly protect and defend its clients’ systems.

Logo and Mark

The Squadra logo is sleek, bold, and built for what’s next. It reflects a brand that’s innovative, forward-thinking, and unapologetically distinct. A custom, high-tech typeface pairs with a sharp, modern logomark to create a look that stands out and means business.

The Squadra logomark channels the spirit of a tiger: powerful, confident, cunning, and fearless. Always alert, always ready to protect, just as Squadra stands guard for its customers.

Color Palette

The Squadra color palette captures the company’s identity: fresh, cool, and modern. It delivers a calm, confident look with real impact.

Typeface Family

The Space Grotesk typeface family is built for flexibility, with a full range of weights that create a clear, confident hierarchy in any layout. Clean, modern, and refined, it keeps every message sharp and easy to read.

Photography

The brand’s imagery puts people first while highlighting its technical edge. It shows real moments of human interaction with technology, blending warmth with precision.

Image Treatment

To make imagery unmistakably Squadra, a custom gradient wash is applied to primary images, creating bold, distinctive hero visuals for corporate use. Secondary images use a lighter gradient touch, adding subtle brand consistency without overpowering the content.

Brand Elements

Squadra’s brand elements transform everyday content into unmistakably Squadra. They bring the brand to life—sharpening its voice, reinforcing its value, and setting it apart in a crowded field of technology consulting firms. Fresh, distinctive, and purpose-driven, these graphic devices define the brand at every touchpoint.

Brand Expression

The Squadra brand comes to life across every touchpoint, proving its flexibility and distinct edge. No matter the format, it delivers a clear, consistent message that connects with it’s audience.
