Brief

Create a logo system for Interpublic Group’s (IPG) proprietary product suite of 40 applications, the Marketing Intelligence Engine (MIE). The logos should work with the parent holding Company, IPG, as well as its many sub-companies, brands, and clients. It should scale for 50+ white labels at present, with potential for unlimited logo and white label variations.

All products and platforms should feel part of the same experience.

Bonus Points
Scaling the logo system to create new logos and white labels should require as little Design and Engineering effort as possible.

Research

We studied corporate architecture, and concluded IPG followed the Endorsed Brand strategy. This lead the conceptualization of the logo system in a similar Endorsed strategy.

We determined a Linear Structure would create the most intuitive brand experience. A parent logo would feed group logos > would feed product logos. Everything should fall out of the Master Logo, to create a seamless ecosystem.

Competitive Analysis

We studied existing logo systems for inspiration. The elements we determined were most successful and would be the most scaleable were:

  • grid-based logo systems creating pictograms

  • grid-based logo systems creating alphabets

  • icon-based logo systems

Concepts

Cube

Cube brings the logos into the the 3D space, just like MIE brings brands into the future.

Cube leads with the adjectives modern, approachable, and future-forward.

Cube

A triangular grid lends itself to easy icon creation. The triangle was pulled from one of IPG’s brands. Ultimately, this required too manual of an effort to scale sustainably.

Custom Typeface + Master logo

Grid & Letters

The final MIE logo was chosen with input from stakeholders across IPG.

This utilitarian, grid-based logo system uses a minimal, square grid to create a custom alphabet.

The 'i' stands for 'intelligence,' and is created out of the negative space from the minimal (zero) kerning.

The custom typeface created from the grid is used in the full logotype, mirroring the main logo mark.

A formula for creating Product logos from the master logo was created, allowing for quick and easy scalability to infinite products and white labels.

880 logos

Each logo has a framed inverse and isolated positive. Each logo is generated using the first two letters of the product.

For any discrepancies, the first letter of the second syllable is used.
