What was the challenge?

hi, i'm ri-qui

hi, i'm ri-qui

PANION was tasked with defining a new category in the e-mobility sector. My challenge was to build a cohesive visual language for a product that was evolving in real-time. I had to ensure that the brand felt mature and trustworthy enough for corporate fleet managers while remaining agile enough for a fast-paced SaaS environment.

How did we solve it?

These challenges also presented a unique opportunity to position PANION as a market leader. We were determined to bridge these gaps and become the trusted comPANION for fleet managers on their electrification journey. Alongside our sales efforts, our presence at key events and fairs, and active social media engagement, our website would serve as the primary platform to provide the missing content and attract the partners we sought.

A Strategic Web Presence

Our website was designed as a formal bridge to connect with potential clients and partners while we developed our product. As a SaaS company for e-mobility fleets, we catered to both senior fleet managers, who are often hesitant about electrification but need to comply with regulations, and younger, tech-savvy managers enthusiastic about e-mobility.

PANION's online platform had the main purpose of informing and connecting. The User Flow would lead users to connect with our team, while offering the necessary and most possible up to date information about our product.

Taking the Lead

The rapidly growing EV industry has also opened up a new opportunity for PANION to stand out: the creation of a comprehensive Glossary of Electric Mobility-related terms. This initiative not only serves as a valuable resource but also drives traffic to our website, reinforcing our role as the trusted comPANION fleet managers need to navigate what is likely to be the greatest challenge of their careers – adapting to a completely new way of mobility that demands enhanced technical expertise and management skills.

Making Space for Growth

Beyond blog posts, whitepapers, and social media efforts to generate leads and drive traffic to our website, we also launched the PANIONarium – a dynamic platform designed to share easily consumable content. Starting with humorous quotes, the goal was to gradually expand the platform to include E-mobility related facts, images, and more, creating a fun and engaging space for our audience.

Brand Identity Design

Library Assets & Brand Governance

The existing brand material had been designed for pitching purposes and required further develoment aligned with the business short- and long-term growth goals.

There was also the need of aligning Marketing with Product, which had been working with Material Design. I worked on the brand alignment of typography and colors to ensure accessibility and consistency across all digital platforms.

Lanes

The three lines representing the products became road lanes, a central element of the branding, guiding the user's eye and playing a key role in the storytelling, suggesting time and rhythm, particularly when animated.

Typography

A suitable font was chosen to fullfill our digital product requirements and effectively convey the intended identiy. This change improved readability and strengthened the visual connection between product and brand.

colors

Color Palette

The yellow was adjusted to improve accessibility (WCAG compliance), ensuring the brand remained functional in high-utility digital environments. The blue hue was improved to intensify its vibrant appearance visual consistency.

infographics

Infographics

Infographic templates were designed to be used in a variety of assets, including the product itself, Keynote presentations, white papers, flyers, and other marketing and sales materials.

Iconography

The three main functions of the product were represented by three icons. Additionally, a comprehensive set of icons and guidelines was created to ensure consistency on the expansion of our icon library to be used across the product, marketing and sales materials.

Marketing & Sales Assets

Scalable Design Operations

I developed a comprehensive library of templates (Social, Keynote, Print) to empower teams to produce on-brand content independently and reduce design bottlenecks as the company scaled.

Social Media & Content Design

At PANION, I designed social media content spanning team updates, event participation, keynotes, Webinars, blog posts, white papers, and awareness days. I also developed templates and visual guidelines to ensure consistent, on-brand communication, and contributed to content planning aligned with our marketing goals.

Flyer Design & Event Booth

Our products would have a flyer, highlighting key features, benefits, and UI, while also cross-promoting the other products. This became an important brand asset — often serving as the first impression for potential clients and distributed at all industry events. In addition, I designed our event booth stands, counter and roll-up to ensure a cohesive and professional brand presence. All assets were crafted to clearly communicate our offering while reinforcing consistency and credibility.

Product Explainer Video

For an explainer video introducing PANION’s software to the Sales team at our parent company, ABB e-Mobility and having our content designer’s script as a starting point, I developed the storyboard, defined the visual direction in line with ABB’s branding, and coordinated with an external partner responsible for animation and editing . The video was designed to clearly communicate the product’s value and functionality to a wider internal audience.

Takeaways

PANION was for me an opportunity to put a greater diversity of skills into one project, from graphic design and UI to project management and communciation.
Responsible for all marketing design, I collaborated with different internal teams such as Product, Sales and HR and external partners for design support, video edition and web development.

PANION's design became consistent and increasingly recognizable, while standing out for its boldness and playfullness within the existing indirect competitors.
