WHO ARE WE?
It's 2014 and we have a new brand
identity! Throughout our process of
rebranding, we've had to ask
ourselves fundamental questions
about who we are and why we exist.
So, what does Citrrus do? Why do we
do it? Why do we love it? How do we
want to be recognized? How are we
relevant in the world today? We want
our visual identity to be confident,
and flow freely though all parts of our
business. Integrating our visual
identity into each company element is
integral to our public perception and
the way we view ourselves. This year,
we've created a signature that we
love, a style and voice of our own.

DESIGN
Our work is driven by our iterative, collaborative design and development process.
Our design is based on systematic inquiry and today's industry standards. We
develop a deeper understanding of design problems through comprehensive and
responsive methods of investigation and creative analysis. Through this process of
inquiry and critical thinking we are able to produce informed and practical solutions
to complex problems.

LOGO
A logo can be a solution to a complex problem. A logo can define, embody, and
command. Our new logo is iconic and symbolic. By looking at our logo, you will know
who we are and the principles on which we've built our foundation. Our new logo is
memorable, simple, timeless, distinct, and relevant.

COLOR
Color can be subjective, and personal preference, experience, and culture may impact
how one perceives and reacts to our brand colors. Within the group of elements that
make up our visual identity, color and shape are perceptually different and stand out.
It's with color and shape that we hope one will most often gain a first impression of
our brand. Our tonic colors - orange and white - are a splash of personality, they are
unique and unforgettable.

The Von Restorff "Isolation" Effect
A psychological principle within the Gestalt framework that predicts the influence of stimuli on memory. Specifically,
when multiple homogeneous stimuli are presented, the stimulus that differs or stands out from the rest is more likely
to be remembered.
