Basekit was rebranding to better represent itself in global markets. The new logo was designed to symbolize the balance between being a foundational "root" that grows positively as a set of tools (base + kit). The logo, colors, and typography were updated to appear versatile yet trustworthy for its diverse audience of designers and businesses. The rebranding provides a foundation to allow Basekit's future evolution.

Overview
Basekit is an online website builder that simplifies the
way the world makes websites.
It is now present in a global market, including Brazil,
Latin-America, Spain, France, United Kingdom and
Germany.
Challenge
Evolving in a very positive way, basekit is now in a major
transition with the release of the latest version of the
online editor.
Because of this, BaseKit found that this would be the
best opportunity to make some adjustments in their
image and adaptation to current reality.
Solution
The idea of the logo came up from the balance between
the etymological definition of words base + kit and the
conclusions taked from the branding workshop.
Was explored to show the sense of fundamentalism,
the “root” that grows in a positive direction, as a set,
a conjunct, also without forgetting that it is a digital
company, with sense of commitment and trustful to their
clients.
The image resulted pretend to be versatile to the distinct
audience that varies between web designers, students
but also business.
The logo was build to allow for Future evolutions.
