Brand Attributes

It was crucial that Learnsoft’s values were front-and-center in their new brand as we infused their personality in everything from their logo to their color palette, typography, shape language, and their voice and tone.

Finding that friendly, innovative, and playful tone was key in differentiating Learnsoft from traditional software companies and led us to explore easy-going, approachable design motifs.

The Brand Sprint

THE WHY: Learnsoft knows that learning and personal growth are about more than regulatory compliance and are the fundamental building blocks of a happy and productive workforce.

Building out the blocks

Our visual exploration brought us to a distinct, playful visual language built on the concept of blocks — with energetic colors and a nuanced shape language that creates a layered, engaging visual experience distinct to Learnsoft.

Primary Colors

Learnsoft’s playful nature is on full display with their new color palette.

Moving beyond the traditional and serious “tech blue” used in their original logo, we added energetic and bold tones across the spectrum, to create an innovative, playful feel no matter where they show up.

Bringing it all to life

A new, innovative website

Building a redesigned, SEO-focused website was key in bringing Learnsoft’s new visual language to life. The result is a fun, engaging website that’s not only easy to navigate, but is enjoyable to read.

By utilizing blocks to frame elements, product UI can be simplified and layered with text and other visual elements — drawing the eye precisely through each page’s story.

Like any website we build, the focus on accessibility and readability means Learnsoft’s site uses a modern, responsive design that works on any modern device or browser.

Content that connects

Effective websites move beyond design and user experience to provide content that a company’s audience wants to spend time consuming. By focusing on the core audiences Learnsoft needed to connect with, we helped write and produce a library of content that presented Learnsoft as an authentic, relatable expert in their field.

But just connecting with your audience is only half of the challenge — content has to convert as well. And our content — which both provides value and drives toward action, did exactly that for Learnsoft.
