We were engaged to rename and rebrand Autopilot to strengthen their global presence and create greater distinction in the market. ‘Ortto’, based on the phonetic pronunciation of ‘auto’, references the company’s original name and key product feature of automation, but also allows the business to expand and evolve their offer.

We developed a custom, scalable logotype built on the common geometry and linked letters found within the name. Referencing Ortto’s customer journey builder and the idea of connection, the brand system is a collection of bold and kinetic shapes, each with multiple variations. The shapes can be connected, customised, and coloured in endless combinations to build a variety of unique journeys.

A vibrant and energetic colour palette was created to ensure increased UI functionality, and provide distinction and cut-through in marketing. The palette also informed a suite of in-app illustrations that help communicate the different stages of the product journey.

The whole identity is then brought to life in motion with looping shape and logo animations, creating a flexible, modular, always-moving brand system.

Testimonial

I had long admired the work of the Christopher Doyle & Co. team, so they were the first I contacted when I needed to undertake a complete rebrand. They surpassed expectations — from proposal to delivery, it was a terrific experience. They took our brief and quickly understood what we were trying to achieve. Christopher and the team acted as true partners in the process, rapidly learning our business and technology to deliver a brand strategy, naming, and toolkit that we could easily roll out. I believe their creativity, standard of work, and collaboration throughout the process would be hard to find elsewhere. I hope to have the opportunity to work together again in the future.
