UPS Reframed.

By 2002, UPS had evolved from the package delivery service identified by Paul Rand’s classic 1961 logo to a vast organization whose expertise in delivery now encompassed logistics synchronized on a global scale. UPS’ visual communications had in turn grown unwieldly, and FutureBrand’s task was to re-synchronize the UPS brand. UPS had outgrown the package, but retained the valuable equity of Brown as well as the dependability and quality inherent in the shield mark.
I was part of a small team that explored the continued viability of the UPS shield and designed the final brand mark. Its primary qualities are luminosity and warmth (in an effect similar to chiaroscuro in painting) and precision in its rendering.
