Which visual cues suit our technology brand’s sustainability campaign?

Use visual cues rooted in your existing identity, products and people to make your sustainability campaign recognisable and tangible. Existing brand colours, product-inspired graphics and human photography can connect sustainable progress to the technology and people behind it.

Product-rooted design keeps sustainability connected to the business

Choose visual cues that connect sustainability to what your business makes and how its people work. For Yokogawa T&M, the campaign idea "Built on precision" rooted sustainability in technical practicality, showing the changes made possible through its tools, technology and people.

The campaign's mini-identity made more prominent use of the green already in Yokogawa T&M's brand guidelines. A grid expressed building blocks towards progress, while icons and illustrations drew on the digital displays and buttons of its products. Warm, human photography foregrounded the people behind the technology. The practical approach is to build a sustainability identity from recognisable brand and product details rather than introduce an unrelated visual language.

The Competition and Markets Authority's 2026 guidance identifies presentation, green logos, imagery and omissions as part of environmental claims, alongside written assertions, in consumer-facing supply chains. Visual choices therefore need the same care as campaign wording.
