About the Work

Mode was founded on a belief in the universal power of data. The platform was set to build upon its success within the business intelligence space by making data accessible to a wider range of users within modern data-driven organizations.

With the goal to expand its audience beyond data analysts and reach into the enterprise market, Mode was looking to build an identity that captures its independent spirit, technical sophistication and approachability both as a company and a platform.

Shifting modes is the core behavior of the identity system. An analogous green palette, a variable typeface paired with more hardworking faces, and a constantly shifting graphic language of modular shapes allows Mode to quickly switch from exploratory to analytical expressions. The logo itself is also dynamic, building off the variable typeface WT Zaft² by WiseType. The identity also informs the new look of the platform, shifting it to feel more engaging and personal.
