Trimble Cloud

Based on geometry, the grid and artistic vision, we have the Trimble Cloud. Trimble tasked me with creating the cloud icon. I was very excited at the opportunity to create a “Google Cloud” level icon for the leading brand in the Infrastructure industry. The challenge was to create a mark that would live on its own, be used from large to small scale in both web and print, be iconic and visually stand with other “cloud” designs out there in the corporate world.

Cloud icon aligned to the logo builder for consistency.

The cloud shape by nature is not perfectly circular, but more of an oval. I represented the three main industries

By shifting the perfectly aligned circles a few pixels to the right, it gave the icon motion.

Breaking the space, was the final step. Here you can see different versions and the final selection.

Here are steps it took to get the final design, represented visually.

Concept for a homepage hero and campaign for Trimble Cloud. This was used to inspire the global design community at Trimble to create more engaging and modern designs in a sometimes out-dated industry.
