Dandi is a pioneering analytics platform built to make Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) programs measurable, trackable, and more successful. Over the course of a years-long engagement, G—W worked with Dandi’s founders to design a vibrant, scalable brand system encompassing the brand, tonality, visual identity, product, and customer experience.
Challenge
Handle any data set imaginable.
DEI data sets are huge, and no two are the same. Dandi needed a brand and product language that could bring meaning to any and all customer data. Dandi’s founders also wanted to avoid the usual brand tropes of the HR tech space. As a lean team, they also needed a brand and design system that was easy enough for anyone to use.
The solution
Get responsive.
Rather than create a rigid brand, G—W developed a big, bold system that was hard to break and simple to use. A broad, vibrant color palette makes it easy to create many different assets, while the instantly recognizable logo can be used in any number of ways. We also created Dandi Grotesk, a custom typeface that was used across all brand and product surfaces. Dandi’s brand and product language is built of components in code, allowing it to react and respond uniquely to each data set. Colors, graphs, and type were chosen to maximize legibility. The result? A fluid, functional system that can handle whatever customers throw at it.
