3stepIT needed a way to bring its Total Cost of Impact research to life. A new model designed to help businesses understand the true cost, risk and value of technology across its lifecycle.

We wanted the visual identity to reflect the reality of technology itself. Constantly changing, evolving and being replaced.

We created an evolving metallic loop that became the central idea for the report. Its form changes and moves throughout the story, reflecting the cycle of investment, use, renewal and the continuous evolution of technology.

The loop became a flexible visual device, framing data, introducing ideas and creating movement through the report. While the identity was deliberately different from the core 3stepIT brand, colour, typography and design language kept the connection clear.

The result was a visual identity that made a complex subject more tangible and engaging, giving Total Cost of Impact a clear visual story and a strong platform for communicating the idea.
