Many paths were taken and all resulted in some way of learning. There were many sources of knowledge that contributed at some point, for the WHOLE we are today.
The Partners keep with us, the team that believes persists, the will refreshes itself, the vision is attentive and updates at the speed of technological change which our century witnesses.
The Identity, that remains. And the horizon is the limit!
History Logo Progression
The Beginning
The initial logo, dated 1987, was composed only of lettering and the ” spark ” was intended to connect the name to the area of activity, and the colors that composed it, the blue indigo and scarlet, immediately revealing the positioning concerns the undertaking the marke: to be understood as a reliable company with strength and race and of course, technically competent.
The Affirmation
In 1990 the initial graphics underwent a significant change, “winnig” a red outline, adding to the initional identity a kind of “stamp”, a strengthening of security assurance on the mark.
The Evolution
This logo was a natural evolution and has been completely revamped in 1996 and then “professionalized“ on the lettering, also containing a sphere with the same spark symbolizing the universal energy. This update of the corporate image intended to make a two-dimensional logo and reinforce the idea of movement and overall, while remaining true to its principles and its genesis: electric power.
Arose when it began to be generalized the concept of “global village” and that we are part of a “global whole” in which TECNICONTROL called himself an active participation, contributing with communications solutions to itself and its customers, greater integration in the ” global community”.
The Globalization
After nearly three decades, and keeping as “starting point” and the two-dimensional sphere present in the previous corporate image , the new image appears now to a less central plan showing maturity and uses ellipses continuous and growing socks to communicate a dynamic , comprehensive attitude and in constant motion, such as the market and all its stakeholders require today.
The sphere, now in shades of red that while remaining advances and dilute the power of the color orange symbolizes the rejuvenated company, capable, creative and energetic, while preserving the values of the initial scarlet: strength, race and competence.
The blue indigo , also still present, now becomes a gradual falling tone of a more cohesive blue and expanding the surroundings , revealing serenity , optimism and security in a broad vision and a commitment of trust , integrity and reliability.
The objective means achieved with this new image: We have renewed, to remain faithful to ourselves.
The Renovation
In 2022, celebrating 35 years, the graphics underwent great significant changes, keeping only the two-dimensional sphere in the “i” symbolizing universal energy.
The new logo presents a simpler and clerer image, continuing to reveal maturity and fidelity to its principles: Energy.
We return to the red tone that symbolizes passion, energy, strenght and grey tones that represent harmony, balance and seriousness.
