Conexolab _Strategic Design Case Study

Conexolab emerges from the needs of Colombian manufacturing product development businesses, intertwined with the scarcity of professional growth opportunities for industrial designers. It's a business model that leverages a multilateral platform to connect Designers, Strategists, and Entrepreneurs in the pursuit of collaborative projects focused on product development and innovation-driven businesses.

The project is approached by creating a name and identity that mirrors the collaborative and multilateral spirit of the platform. This is symbolized by a triad of overlapping circles in a radial, dynamic, and colorful composition, embodying diversity, connection, and integration as the brand's core values.

By addressing the strategic aspect of the initiative, we developed a multilateral platform model in collaboration with the client. The outcome is a coherent integration of strategic design knowledge, business models, market intelligence, and copywriting into compelling visuals. These effectively communicate the initiative's goals and features to potential investors in a business pitch that illustrates how creative design thinking can coexist with analytical business acumen.

An Ecosystem for Collaborative Open Innovation
Breaking free from the conventional confines of the local industry, we championed a collaborative economy that harnesses the collective wisdom of designers, entrepreneurs, and strategists. By pooling expertise and resources, they forge innovative solutions through a dynamic, multilateral platform business model. Rooted in the shared values of diversity, connection, and integration, Conexolab’s name and model find purpose in driving innovation.


Harmonizing Diversity: The Conexolab Logo
In crafting the Conexolab logo—an emblem of collaborative innovation—we delve into a vibrant narrative. A triad of circles, their edges overlapping like minds converging. Radiating outward, they pulse with dynamic energy. Colors blend to represent a symphony of ideas. This logo embodies diversity, connection, and integration—the very essence of Conexolab.
