Unveiling Our Refreshed Logo!
We are almost six years old and it was time to refresh our look!
The Original Reboot Co. Logo
The New ReBoot Co. logo
Back to Bright Blue. The ReBoot Co. blue has morphed and changed over the years, we have landed on #3C69E7 hex colour, also known as ‘Bright Blue’ and we feel like that reflects our optimistic outlook.
We have also kept and reimagined the circles. The concentric circles represented a consistent learning cycle, we’ve reimagined those cycles as a ‘Puzzle’; we are always focussed on solving problems, there could be many solutions, as well as a fun challenge. We also now have our ‘dot’ under the O. This is a nod to all of organisations that we work with, and their unique challenges.
We hope the new logo reflects our mission to Transform every workplace so people love their jobs, helping people access more adaptive and effective ways of working.
We’ve already heard the new logo called a labyrinth, an on/off button and even a fingerprint! We’d love to hear what you think! Come and join us over at our ReBoot Co. LinkedIn page.
