Back Market’s Bold Rebranding: A Fresh Take on Tech Circularity

When it comes to environmental harm, tech waste stands alongside the infamous plastic bottle. Electronics inundate our landfills with toxic materials, a challenge Back Market tackles head-on. This pioneering refurbished tech marketplace is rewriting the narrative of electronics consumption with a powerful visual language that reflects their commitment to change.
- Environmental Advocacy: Championing circularity and combating e-waste, Back Market’s business model proves that quality and sustainability can coexist.
- Revolutionary Savings: Offering devices up to 70% off, Back Market makes tech accessible and eco-friendly. A win for wallets and the world!
Back Market, in a collaborative effort with design maestros Rasmus Wängelin and Studio Herrström, along with their own senior lead art director Victor Antonelli, has rolled out a renewed brand identity. A sophisticated blend of offbeat yet premium aesthetics, this rebrand echoes the company’s core values and vision for a more sustainable future.
Their logo redesign is simplicity at its finest, enhancing readability and conveying a modern, friendly vibe. Animation breathes life into the mark, drawing a direct line to their circular economy ethos. Custom graphics incorporate circles and diagonals, representing both cyclical technology life and forward momentum, while a refreshed color palette injects vitality synonymous with rejuvenation.
Typography choices further humanize the brand; the warm Ivar Soft blends a personal touch against the geometric, circular-themed Duplet Open. Together, they craft a visual narrative of accessibility and sustainability.
To solidify their reimagined identity, Back Market and Vucko introduced a captivating motion design system. At its heart lies a rotational motif, mirroring the circular economy’s endless loop. This movement, alongside dynamic patterns and typography, sets the foundation for an engaging and authentic brand experience. It’s a visual handshake that introduces the refreshed Back Market to the world: confident, optimistic, and brimming with activist zeal.
