Consumer in Focus: Switzerland's ICERTIAS Unveils New Logo

ZURICH, Sept. 8, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- The International Certification Association, ICERTIAS, unveiled its new logo and corporate visual and communication identity in its seat, Zurich, today.

The globally present research and certification organisation has rebranded itself with a new logo in whose centre is an image of the average consumer, dubbed Checkman Charlie. ICERTIAS said that Checkman Charlie represented the consumer or buyer raising a hand in a vote for what he thinks is best on the market.

"Our focal point is the consumer, the average shopper, the average person. Consumers are the ones we address and they are the ones who decide about who has the best offers on the market for our certification process. It was, therefore, logical for us to place the consumer in the centre of our new emblem," the international organisation said.

The organisation's new trademark does not use Checkman Charlie by himself, but has him embedded in a red shield.

"The red shield, which is always associated with determination and action, depicts ICERTIAS itself, as it determinedly and actively shields the consumers, asks them for their opinion and keeps them informed."

A new motto has also been launched to go with ICERTIAS's new emphasised focus on the consumer: "MY VOICE." This simple statement demonstrates the fact that ICERTIAS gives voice to the opinions of today's consumers in the media and towards producers and service providers on the market.

ICERTIAS's newly unveiled corporate identity is an example of the successful rebranding of a young and rapidly expanding international organisation that is increasingly recognised as a research reference centre and as a respectable international certification authority.
