Brand Identity 2023

LivSYT Visual Brand Identity

Visual identity for on-site construction management software that puts site teams first.

LivSYT Visual Brand Identity cover

LivSYT is on-site construction management software designed to change the construction sector. It shifts the focus from top-down project management to bottom-up site management, aiming to make construction sites more productive and profitable.

This case study shows how the visual identity for LivSYT was crafted to reflect those goals.

Objectives

The identity had to resonate with LivSYT’s mission and vision, as set out in its brand guidelines:

Outcome

The new identity increased brand recognition and received positive stakeholder feedback. Through solid, bold design choices, the guidelines aim to express the brand’s traits of ownership, learnability, courage and thinking big.

The mark sets a hard hat over a gear, putting the site team at the center of the software. It is built on a clear grid, works in solid gray as well as in full color, in navy and construction yellow, and shrinks cleanly into an app icon.

Color

A bold palette made for construction sites: construction yellow and orange for energy and safety, deep navy for trust and structure, and a bright sky blue as a digital accent, with cream and white to give everything room to breathe.

Typography

Ancress Bold is the primary typeface, reserved for one-liners and big headings, where its bold, impactful letterforms capture attention. Inter is the secondary typeface for subheadings, paragraphs and captions, chosen for versatility and legibility across screens and print.

Stationery

Letterhead, envelopes, business cards and badges carry the navy base with the mark picked out in yellow.

Signage and outdoor

On a real site the brand has to read from a distance. Banners, fences and building signage use large type, strong contrast and cut-out shapes inspired by gears so they stay recognizable against concrete and scaffolding. The line “Connecting construction teams for efficient project management” anchors the set.

Digital

The mark scales down to an app icon on a phone home screen, and the same palette carries into social cards and ads.

Campaign

The campaign pairs photography of site teams with the brand shapes and short lines such as “AI-driven site operations”, “Simplify construction management with Livsyt” and “Empowering construction teams with Livsyt”.

Vertical story cards bring the same blocks of blue and orange to social media, and the campaign closes where it started, outdoors, with a transit-station poster that asks passers-by to simplify construction management.
