PROPSPEED UNVEILS NEW BRAND IDENTITY

The name Propspeed is a valuable part of the brand equity as it has become established as the industry benchmark in foul-release coatings. The brand uses a strong brand element endorsement model to leverage over 21-years of established brand equity and name recognition – this strategy supports the transfer of equity and recognition to all product lines through design cues and parent brand association. The design cues are based on elements found in the logo today, but with a modernized treatment to align with the new brand vision.

SUMMARY

The rebranding is an evolution of Propspeed's 21-year strong brand presence and includes new logos; a modernized, information-rich website, packaging, and updates to social media platforms and collateral.
