To unify SilMan’s three divisions for a seamless experience for both customers and teams, while allowing for integration, flexibility, and autonomy.

01 | Why Rebrand?
SilMan had seasoned
In 15 years, the company had gone from a construction company to a highly skilled industrial solution provider. The rebrand sprang from the no-so-simple idea of expanding the firm name to better align with its future.
SilMan knew they needed a logo update, but because there were big internal changes, too, they would need a process to carry their vision across channels.
Rebranding wasn’t a familiar term for them at the time, but it turned out to be exactly the process that would help bring their big idea to life in a clear and tangible way.

03 | The Logo
Nostalgia, transformed
Engineering, design, and architecture factor heavily into SilMan’s new logo, incorporating stylistic additions that speak to integration and unity. The company’s Under One Roof methodology remains every bit as relevant for them today, and this expansion is communicated clearly in the new mark.
Original Logo
Clean and classic, with a nod to architecture, this logo was well loved by SilMan’s teams.
New Logo
Taking from the nostalgia of the original, the new logo grows up into its future-facing self.

04 | The Identity
Unity + Flexibility
SilMan’s new Identity included a logo and updates to their entire suite of visuals and internal communications.
This can be challenging with multiple divisions, each with a set of processes and operational needs, functioning within a single firm.
Through cross-collaboration, we were able to distill the most valuable aspects of each into a system that would reflect unity, while allowing for creativity and autonomy.
A few of the tools we developed together:
Directives for presentations + documents
Iconography for building communications
Detailed brand guidelines
Marketing materials
Tools for team building + education
