It’s all about people
RATOS
Ratos is a Nordic business group of 11 companies with a long and rich history. We were brought in to reignite their brand, website and communication and show that they were not just a brand of the past, but of the future. We centered the positioning around It’s all about people, reflecting Ratos’ firm belief that you invest in people, not companies.

A most valuable asset
We decided to keep Ratos’ most recognizable asset, their logo. And to base the entire visual expression on the upward graph of the “o”. The curve was used in abstract photography as backgrounds for various communication assets. This made it easy to keep imagery from their different companies cohesive. The curve also influenced the iconography. We developed a timeless and sophisticated color palate consisting of 5 different colors with both warmer and cooler tones reflecting their businesslike yet human approach.
Some well-deserved pride
The entire identity reflected the new positioning, and a best-in-class website delivered the message loud and clear. The result is a brand that communicates pride for what has been achieved and ambition for what is to come.
