Brand Update
Changes to our Visual Identity and Branding
You will, by now, have seen the new visual appearance of our website and social channels, which reflect our evolving strategic focus on broad remote working solutions and our key role within the Atos solution portfolio.
This short video and blog give some of the back-story to our evolved position.
Key digital assets have been updated and will continue to be updated to align with our new look, please check the website for details. And over time, as part of their normal refresh cycles, stock, assets, tools, hardware and software will be revised to align with this visual identity. However, there will be no forced Product refresh and branded Products will not become obsolete or require exchanging.
As part of this process you will of course want to align with the visual identity within your websites, social spaces, demonstration areas etc. and so we have made available the following assets within the partner portal:
Our goal is for our partners to align with the new visual appearance during the remaining months of 2020. We will include participation criteria around the new brand in our partner program from the start of 2021.
