Bytemobile: A dynamic visual style for a brand in motion.

The explosion of video and other web content consumed on mobile platforms has fueled Bytemobile’s stratospheric growth. The company is known as a leading provider of innovative solutions that enable mobile operators to optimize their networks and improve service delivery. However as the company grew, the company’s brand did not reflect its reputation, and management realized that it needed an upgrade. To do this, they hired Liquid and asked us to evolve the brand’s visual style, but with one caveat: The logo could not be changed...at all. This limitation made the project a little more difficult, however, we embraced the challenge with gusto and did not touch the logo, instead we used it as our inspiration and managed to deliver a vibrant brand language filled with new possibilities.
