Microsoft Real Time Collaboration

The goal of this project was to evolve the existing visual language to align with the Office 12 brand and to create a toolkit that people without design background could use to easily create brand graphics. The visual language was created around bridges as a visual metaphor for communication.

The core graphics were inspired by images of bridges.

The same core graphics as lineart formed the second layer of the brand graphics tool kit.

The 6 brand colors, one for each product with the respective accent colors underneath and 3 neutrals.

The brand colors were combined with different images to generate background graphics.

This diagram illustrates how to use the elements to create graphics that are consistent with the brand.

An example of a graphic that was created using the tool kit.
