Anolis Reveals New Brand Identity
LED and architectural lighting brand Anolis , a Robe business , has launched a new brand identity and optimized website ahead of the release of its Calumma range of products . Anolis has been around since 2005 .
This follows the expansion of Anolis ’ business over the last two years and its close alignment to and connection with entertainment brand Robe . The new , streamlined , and contemporary Anolis look reflects the changing nature of installation lighting and technology , the company says . It adds that the new brand underlines its enhanced commitment to sustainability , creativity , and invention .
The new brand identity is designed by creative agency KHS and is led by a new logo . The original chameleon is retained as a fine detail in the form of a stylized eye in the upper right-hand corner .
The new identity is visible throughout the new product catalogue , and is tailored to the creativity of architectural lighting design . Swiss Style has been applied “ with typically clean fonts and a pure grid layout with simplified icons for more emphasis . Architecture – the art and science of designing buildings and other physical structures – is supported via each chapter title and the main ideas behind each product .”
