The Challenge
Client Background
Sunwheel is a technology solutions concept of the Energy Business division of an established industrial services organisation in Scandinavia. Since its founding, it has championed its scope of building a comfortable environment for the next generation. Its focus on energy business has propelled itself as a category-leader of renewable energy usch as recycled plastic fuel and photo voltaic system (solar panels).
Eco-Initiative
As new initiative, Sunwheel specialises in bringing in enterprise AI-hardware and software together with renewable technology solutions for manufacturers globally. By harnessing NVIDIA Blackwell and DGX platform, its cutting edge technology suite provides ultra-efficient power management for energy industry partners.
Hardware Meets Intelligence
Sunwheel operates at the complex intersection of industrial manufacturing and advanced artificial intelligence. The challenge was to create a visual identity that could speak fluently to both engineers on the factory floor and software developers in the cloud, bridging the gap between heavy metal and weightless code.
Beyond Green
The renewable energy sector is saturated with generic leaf motifs and predictable green palettes. Sunwheel needed to break away from these eco-clichés. We aimed to craft a sophisticated, tech-forward aesthetic that signaled "industrial power" and "computational precision" rather than just "sustainability."
Nordic Roots
As a Norwegian company, Sunwheel wanted to honor its heritage without falling into traditional tropes. The challenge was to anchor a global technology brand in its Scandinavian roots, referencing ancient solar symbolism while maintaining a hyper-modern, international appeal
The Process
Our design process was a focused exploration of form and function, seeking a symbol that could represent both the infinite energy of the sun and the mechanical precision of engineering.
The Sólarhvél
We delved into Nordic folklore, finding inspiration in the 'sólarhvél' or sun wheel—an ancient symbol of the sun's perpetual motion. We reinterpreted this pagan icon through a lens of modern geometry, creating a logomark that feels both timeless and futuristic.
Modular Systems
Recognizing the need for versatility, we developed a modular design language. The core shapes of the logo expand and contract to form functional grids for software interfaces, technical diagrams for hardware manuals, and dynamic patterns for brand collateral.
Industrial Warmth
We curated a color palette that defies industry norms. Instead of sterile blues or predictable greens, we chose deep, industrial greys illuminated by a vibrant, molten orange. This combination captures the essence of 'solar energy in motion'—intense, powerful, and radiant against a backdrop of solid engineering.
The Solution
The resulting identity is a robust, enterprise-grade design system that seamlessly unifies hardware and software. It provides Sunwheel with a visual language that is as powerful and efficient as the technology it represents.
Solar In Motion
The logo is not static; it implies endless rotation, motion and generation. It serves as a visual metaphor for the company's core promise: harnessing the perpetual motion of renewable energy such as solar energy to power the world sustainably and responsibly.
Enterprise Grade
We extended the brand into a comprehensive UI/UX system for Sunwheel's software platforms. The design prioritizes clarity and data visualization, allowing engineers to monitor complex solar arrays with intuitive ease. The dark-mode interface reflects the 'command center' nature of their operations.
Global Beacon
The new brand mark now stands as a stamp of quality and innovation. It is versatile enough to be stamped on heavy machinery, embroidered on uniforms, and displayed as a favicon, ensuring consistent brand recognition across every touchpoint of the manufacturing ecosystem.
"Sunwheel is a technology solutions concept... bringing enterprise AI-hardware and software together... strongly inspired by sólarhvél, the Scandinavian symbol of the solar wheel."
