TWINSNETWORK presents at Orgatec 2018 a whole new definition of network
Our new branding is the result of a shared path of renewal, in which historicity and solidity blend together with change and innovation, to express and enhance experiences, expertise and future goals. We considered it essential to make public the shared values of the network and to transmit our message of unity and of openness, and our will of innovation. It therefore follows the introduction of the concept of NETWORK, which substitutes the previous caption of Group, and the definition of the three concepts which have led the development of the new visual brand identity: relationship, structure and transparency.

Relationship, Structure and Transparency
The path of renewal undertaken by TWINSNETWORK has led to the development of a new brand image, which had to represent and deliver a common message, an image developed on the three key concepts selected and shared by the network: Relationship, Structure and Transparency.
The visual construction of the TWINSNETWORK logotype had to consider each company’s different identity, thus envisaging a logo which should not replace the brand image of the single company but enhance it by its standing alongside. Therefore, neutral colors black and white have been selected, together with a linear typography font that allows a clear and decisive communication.
The naming TWINSNETWORK is visually treated like a single non-textual element, thanks to the use of a monospaced font that allows the single letters to be perceived as graphic elements on a regular grid. The different possible dispositions of the single letters on the grid generate new logo configurations. As a matter of fact, the logotype interacts with space by placing itself in an always different and coherent manner on a grid, though maintaining the recognizability of the whole. Moreover, the use of capital letters makes the concepts of solidity and authority become explicit. The result is a clean, clear, linear and decisive logotype, but which is at the same time flexible, in such a way as to better adapt to different kinds of support, thus making it possible to use the logotype with any of the identities existing within the network.
