Harnessing the energy of light to tell a story.

Illumina’s global brand identity underwent a remarkable transformation, capturing its essence through brand behavior inspired by the meaning behind its name—to illuminate. Light, a fundamental element in both the technology and the inspiration for its name, became the driving force behind the redesigned brand.

Integrating the concept of light, the design system ignited inspiration, offered guidance, and shared the spotlight with esteemed researchers in the field. This led to the emergence of a brand where light serves as the guiding principle, influencing the graphic devices, colors, and layouts, all meticulously crafted to express Illumina's purpose in a visually compelling manner. The result is a brand that visually reflects Illumina’s dedication to advancing genomics through clarity, guidance, and discovery.

Launching the NextSeq 2000

To launch the NextSeq 2000, AM:COLLAB developed a 360° campaign built around the creative idea of light as a source of discovery—a metaphor for sequencing’s power to illuminate breakthroughs. This concept guided the launch video, product details video, and KOL interviews, where dynamic light visuals highlighted the platform’s precision and impact. We extended this theme across email, banners, and social media, ensuring a cohesive experience that resonated with researchers and scientists. By combining expert insights with striking visuals, we positioned the NextSeq 2000 as a breakthrough in sequencing, making its benefits clear, engaging, and accessible.
