CASE STUDY
CHALLENGE
Protolabs Network, a trusted partner for innovators like Boeing and NASA, wanted to recognize long-standing employees. The goal was to create awards and branded merchandise that celebrated individual expertise while strengthening a shared sense of pride, unity, and innovation across global teams.
SOLUTION
We researched each department’s work and translated complex engineering concepts into a high-tech, cohesive visual identity. This brand system was applied to internal assets, including a bomber jacket, bag, a company-wide award template that honored both personal achievement and collective success.
OUTCOME
The bomber jacket became a badge of pride, sparking requests from teams worldwide, while the award template was adopted company-wide. The project demonstrated how thoughtful design can bridge technology and emotion, fostering a culture of innovation and unity.
