"TechChill looked for an identity that would have meaning beyond a single year. We knew who we were, but we didn't know how to communicate that visually.
Our request was simple: make it simple but not basic.
Asketic went the extra mile to understand our values and build a design identity that would communicate them while also having a distinct character."
