Our name, logo, and early messaging all helped explain what we do, but they never quite captured why we are doing it and how we are different.
That’s changing today.
This moment is about more than logos, colors, and fonts. It’s a declaration of our priorities at this new stage of the business.

The old logo was not terrible but it was bland and generic, with a phone icon that looked more like signage indicating a phone is available than representing a company. I’m not entirely sure why but I really like the new monogram. The holding shape is interesting and the “A” is intriguing. I was ready to call bullshit on the references in it but, sure, it’s a combination of A, megaphone, and old phone and they yield a groovy monogram. Wordmark is expected but decent — perhaps a dark gray would have been a better pairing for the green than stark black. The color palette is a little random but par for the course for a SaaS company. The quick glimpse at the applications are, again, all decent and simple. Overall, a nice and modest evolution that makes the company look more put together and a much more distinctive logo. [UPDATE: A few more application images have been added.]
