Logo and Mark Ecosystem

DER interoperability standards certification marks

Client

SunSpec Alliance

Scope

Visual strategy, creative consulting, graphic design, logos, and supporting documentation for mark use

Challenge

Create an immediately identifiable set of certification marks.

Solution

The SunSpec Alliance certification program provides a means of verifying compliance to communication interfaces to ensure DER interoperability, data communications, and cybersecurity. The ecosystem has several certifications and is growing regularly. We worked with SunSpec to develop a comprehensive system of certification marks that work across media, including as a tiny blip on products. The system was designed to allow for expansion to new certifications.
