PROJECT DESCRIPTION
On the eve of Intuit's 40-year anniversary, a multidisciplinary team composed of both internal brand designers and San Francisco-based Moniker was assembled to reimagine Intuit’s visual identity.
A new visual system has been constructed, blending equal parts historical brand equity with future-looking visuals. A completely redrawn logo sits at the center of this refresh, which sees an increased stroke weight to embody a bold future-defining business strategy, a geometric construction to visualize an AI-driven financial technology platform, and organic curved moments in key letterforms to retain a sense of humanity. Surrounding the logo is an expansive system of visual styles including a new primary and secondary color palette, typography scale, photography direction, and a new layout element called the I-beam. The I-beam draws direct reference from the letter “I” in the logo, represents the idea of a building block within Intuit’s global technology platform, and can be used as both an implicit and explicit layout grid element.

Juror Comments
"The logo refresh for INTUIT relies on an understanding of how typography can achieve a lot with restraint. I appreciate the wonderful rhythm achieved through letterform shapes that with a simple gesture (turning it upside down) provides a different reading. The repetition of the "T" creates a sense of typographic symmetry and stability. The use of a single color throughout the design system provides consistency-- I can't help but think of "Big Blue", the nickname accorded IBM back in 1980-- for obvious reasons, but then again, no company "owns" a color. It will be up to the success of INTUIT over time when the immediate recognition of a color can be assigned to it."
