IBM Services

At Your Service(s)

When IBM merged its two massive consultancies, GBS (Global Business Services), and GTS (Global Technology Services) to become IBM Services, they needed find a way to signal its evolution into a global, single-source provider of infrastructure, software and consulting services.

In partnership with IBM BXD, IBM’s Brand and Experience Design group, I created and oversaw comprehensive brand expression explorations and guidelines for the new sub brand, using a focused slice of IBM's visual language to give IBM Services a fresh, bold take on core IBM attributes.
