Truly Deeply rebrands ATSE as Applied

rebrand agency



The new name ‘Applied’, was chosen as it humanises the brand and cuts to the core of the organisation’s brand differentiation, practical approach and core beliefs that they’ve held since the 1970s.

Working with key stakeholders and the organisation’s board, we created a new strategic proposition that refocuses the organisation on why they exist and the important role they have in engaging the broader community. The organisation is now aligned and committed to applying engineering, technology and science expertise to solve the big issues facing our nation in a fast-changing world.


The new tone of voice maintains their independent and expert potency with a visionary and engaging approach that avoids jargon and complexity. Genuine engagement with the public and the media is now being encouraged with a passion to share knowledge and actively contribute to the big debates.

The brand identity design conveys how Applied sees through complex problems to find real solutions. It’s deliberately multi-dimensional, representing the many different perspectives and minds that Applied brings together.

The visual language grows, transforms and weaves around imagery, celebrating that no two solutions are the same and every problem has its own unique challenges.

The unexpected contemporary typeface is juxtaposed with a sophisticated colour palette, balancing the pragmatic nature of Applied with a personable, relevant and ambitious tone of voice.
