How do we look? 

We at Technical.ly put community at the center of our work.

 

Today, we are proud to formally announce our new brand identity, alongside a redesign of our website — and community was the focus. It’s timed in part with our 14th anniversary of first publishing and marks the first bottom-up redesign since 2012. In some sense, it’s the first time we’ve wholesale changed our logo since our launch.

 

Our new logo features an open circle to reference the openness of our community, and the Technical.ly ‘T’ right in the middle. The color scheme remains dark to reflect our serious approach, with a splash of cheeky green to reflect our tone.

 

Dozens of interviews and user testing informed the process to make this more readable, usable and modern. Please let us know what you think! 

 

— Technical.ly CEO Chris Wink (chris@technical.ly)
