AVIXA

Originally known as Infocomm, the Audio Visual and Integrate Experience Association (AVIXA), is the largest AV association in the world. We partnered with them on a total brand transformation including a new brand strategy, a new name and a new visual identity.

Brand Strategy
& Re-Naming

Infocomm grew organically with the evolution of the audio visual industry, becoming the largest AV association in the world. Over time it became clear that their organic success was aging and younger audiences were showing less interest.

To better understand this, we began our approach by interviewing customers and stakeholders along with conducting market research. The goal was to understand everyone's perception of the brand, and the market space the brand exists in. The outcome was a new, more inclusive, brand strategy including messaging that targeted both their existing members & a younger audience of AV professionals.

After defining the brand strategy, it was obvious that the name Infocomm no longer represented the entire scope of their work. We started with a long list of names and narrowed it down to AVIXA, which stands for the Audio Visual and Integrate Experience Association. The 'Audio Visual' part speaks to their existing audience, while the 'Integrated Experience' speaks to their new younger members.

Brand & Visual Identity

Motion and member inclusion were a huge part of the brand strategy and the biggest inspiration for the logo and visual identity.

The brand needed to feel like it was always in motion. This led us to use a gradient as the main color palette, since it implies motion. We came up with an abstract mark that worked as a video mask, featuring the AV/IX works of member organizations in the mark itself, creating a truly community-driven brand.

Environmental Branding

We worked with AVIXA over the course of a year to plan the release of the brand. A big part of this was a comprehensive environmental branding system throughout AVIXA's headquarters. The environmental system was designed to both gain internal buy-in and empower the AVIXA team with the new brand.
