/ rebranding

Bluenze got a new brand in July 2026: logo, color, type, motion and manual. This is the story, the before included.

The before

It was fine. That was the problem.

The old site was correct: white background, a timid navy blue, the typeface half the internet uses and six pages to say one thing. And it spoke in the plural back when there was only one of us.

The problem was none of those things: it was that it could have been anyone's. And when what you sell is design, looking like anyone's gets expensive.

“Your idea.
Made into a website.”

“You bring us the noise: notes, references, half a logo on a napkin.”

word for word. It said “we” back when “we” was one person.

Same studio. New face.

The process

A rebranding is not a new logo.

  1. 00

    We look at what is there

    Your brand, your sector and what each one says. What works stays; what is in the way, goes.

  2. 00

    Concept

    An idea you can defend in one sentence. Bluenze's: a workshop where you can see the hand.

  3. 00

    System

    Logo, color, type, graphic pieces and motion. All with written rules, nothing left to the mood of the day.

  4. 00

    Manual and landing

    A brandbook that actually gets used, and the brand placed where it lives: website, social, email, invoice.

What we hand over

What you take home.

If we do your branding — or the facelift — this is what you get. The same thing we handed to ourselves.

Sixteen pieces that make you recognizable without the logo in front: the ten regulars and the six ornaments that add depth without a single blurred shadow. Each one with its function written down.
