Asiatech’s management team had started a brand redesign program to improve some logo problems. The rebranding was supposed to solve the problem of the illegibility of Asiatec’s Persian logo in the first stage. In addition to being unreadable, this logotype lacked aesthetic aspects. As part of the project, Vand International Company was asked to create a new logotype for Asiatech.
The logotype that the Wend team had to create was supposed to guide the audience to read the second part of Asiatech’s writing with fractions, taking into account the fundamental necessity of readability. Because this brand was not known at that time and the audience did not know the phonetic form of the brand and many called it Asiatek instead of Asiatech.
The first solution and the easiest way to avoid this mistake was to write the fraction under the letter “t”. However, there was a bigger problem, that is, the audience had to somehow understand that tech in the word Asiatech has something to do with the technological nature of this brand. For this reason, Vand’s designers decided to use the English logotype under the Persian text. Also, the rebellious design of the Persian letter K was repeated in the English logotype e, so that due to this design affinity, the audience will understand that tech in Farsi is the same as tech in English. This strategy helped the audience to understand Asiatech’s relationship with the field of technology.
Updating the logo of any brand means that the brand is alive and dynamic, and it is taken into account that the audience will send this message that this brand is up-to-date and for its managers, all aspects of the brand are important, even the color and composition of the logo. The changes that the logo makes should be smart and based on the new needs of the brand. The most important issue in updating the Asiatec logo was improving the readability of its Persian logotype.
