The Challenge

Spark had just gone through a major brand refresh, and there was a wide gap between the new identity and the assets still in circulation. The challenge was broad—ads, events, presentations, print. The goal: bring everything into a cohesive visual language while creating a scalable system.

Bringing the Brand to Life

As the lead design partner, Former drove the brand transition by producing a wide range of high-impact assets across digital + web, campaigns, presentations, events, and print. Each channel required its own optimization: digital assets needed to land in seconds, print needed clarity and pacing, data visualization needed to tell a compelling story.

Creating Long-Term Value

Over time, the work matured alongside the company, expanding its visual breadth and keeping the identity current. What began as one-off executions developed into a flexible system of templates and components—presentation frameworks, event materials, email structures, and sales tools—that allowed the team to produce new assets quickly and consistently. The result was a durable creative foundation that future designers could build on while maintaining the integrity of Spark.

ABOUT

Former has a simple belief: where you’ve been gives your next move its shape.

Every brand has a past, a trajectory, and an evolving identity. We’re familiar with this arc and know when a shift is on its way. Most businesses don’t need reinvention. They need a partner who understands provenance and can extend early foundations into considered advertising, campaigns, presentations, and real-world assets.

 

That’s the work we do: build what moves you forward.
