By combining Free Space Optics (FSO) and E-Band RF technology with intelligent traffic management, the Santa Clara, California-based company, founded in 2014, is pioneering next generation over-the-air solutions that deliver unprecedented speed, range, and cost efficiency, enabling and accelerating technology to take a leap forward.

Developed in partnership with global branding agency Saffron Consultants, Collinear’s new brand strategy is based around a very simple idea based on the company’s mission of enabling fluidity in communications as a catalyst for transformation: Collinear is a great equalizer building transformative technologies that enable the enablers of network communications to solve real world problems.

The resulting visual language employs the equal (‘=’) symbol derived from the ‘ll’ of the Collinear logotype as the brand’s core element to encapsulate the concept of co-existence between its hybrid technologies, Collinear and its collaborators, and Collinear’s solution and its end users.

Using bright, powerful colors, a reductive design language based on a simple geographic grid system, and illustrations, images, and a product nomenclature that evince the company’s pioneering and quirky personality, Collinear’s new brand effectively communicates the complexity of the company’s cutting-edge technology in a bold, simple, and cohesive manner, which is further encapsulated in the company’s new claim, Enlightened Communications.

“It’s because of what can be done with connectivity that we want to empower organizations, people, and the world at large with our breakthrough technology,” said Wendy Simmons, Vice President of Corporate Marketing. “It was important to us that our brand identity reflected not just what we do, but why we do it. We make connectivity reach further, and we make it matter.”

The new brand identity will be implemented across all of the brand’s digital and physical touch points, including the company’s new website at collinear.com.
