SD Worx

Introduction
Every month, millions of employees get in touch with one of the digital tools of European HR service provider SD Worx. Whether to check their payslips, book days off, or file expenses: SD Worx has them covered.
However, their iconic logo needed a dynamic graphic system and coherent visual design throughout all of their touch points. Born Digital created a new visual identity, translated it into the design for its public website, and set up a design system to unify all the SD Worx applications.

Challenges
Building a new visual identity for a large enterprise with many stakeholders and touchpoints presented a considerable challenge. What made the task even more demanding was the limited creative freedom imposed by the requirement to adhere strictly to the existing color scheme and logo.
On top of that, building a design system for a multinational company means cataloging every component in meticulous detail. It's a massive undertaking that calls for a big-picture view and a focus on specifics.
We created and improved components and visual assets by setting up a deliberate process while gathering feedback from the teams applying the design system.

Visual identity
A vibrant and dynamic visual identity was devised, based on their current logo and color scheme. We created a series of fireworks using the three stripes in their logo as a basis. These Sparks are the SD Worx logo coming to life. Three colorful stripes start to move and light up the sky like fireworks.
The sparks are combined with bespoke photography and robust and timeless typography. We completed the visual identity with colorful illustrations, iconography, and a series of templates and examples (both digital and analog). A brand book was the final deliverable in this phase, documenting all the new visual elements and templates.

Website design
We integrated our freshly developed visual identity into UI Design for SD Worx's new website. By skillfully adapting their brand elements into digital designs, we created a consistent and immersive user experience.
The result is a vibrant and cohesive design that captures SD Worx's brand essence while providing an intuitive journey for users.

Design system
After creating a new visual identity and applying it to their public website, the client's UX team was eager to adopt the improved style to all their applications. So we helped them out by creating concept designs, a complete design system in Figma, and a documented guide in Zero Height.
Our continuous design support and detailed documentation for all their products increase the system's adoption, improving the user experience and visual appearance.
