Brief.

Reimagine Dixon Carphone’s ADX gaming accessories brand by modernising and re-energising the identity to allow ADX to become the gaming accessory brand of choice.

Challenges.

  • How to work ADX Dark SKU’s on the dark theme background to retain SKU prominence.

  • How do we retain brand equity while evolving the identity, ensuring ADX remains recognisable and familiar to existing customers?

Decision making:

  • Aligned all stakeholders to protect core brand equity while elevating the darker visual direction; making stronger use of the signature orange and retaining the house font.

  • Modernising the logo mark was needed as it was very outdated; refined lettering, improved spacing, and a cleaner, more recognisable flame device.

  • Decision to add more expressive brand elements to inject character, shifting the brand from corporate to confident and distinctive including;

    • The Ultimate Edge device to hero darker SKUs,

    • An outlined type style derived from the ultimate edge,

    • Vertical type formatting

    • An enhanced icon system to spotlight product features and propositions.

  • Introduced a new primary display typeface to add modernity and presence, creating clearer synergy with the logo and improving overall system consistency.

  • Led creative direction in partnership with the internal photography studio to elevate product imagery in line with the refreshed ADX identity;

    • Established a distinctive visual approach using ADX’s orange hues and back-lighting to enhance product appeal and support upsell of key SKUs.

    • Ensured photography consistently reinforced a more dynamic, re-energised brand presence.
