Siegel+Gale Partners with Curvature to Launch New Name and Brand Identity

LOS ANGELES, July 24, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Curvature (www.curvature.com), formally Network Hardware Resale, recently launched a comprehensive brand revitalization effort, which included naming, repositioning and visual identity, developed in partnership with global strategic branding firm Siegel+Gale (www.siegelgale.com).

Curvature, an innovative IT infrastructure services provider, has become a strategic partner to more than 10,000 customers worldwide since its founding in 1986. Its fresh approach to IT services and equipment offerings has enhanced the way CIOs run their IT operations and infrastructure. Siegel+Gale partnered with Curvature to develop a new name and brand identity that would accurately represent its evolution as a company as well as its commitment to challenging the status quo. 

"The word curvature, by definition, is a measure of change," said Jason Cieslak, president, Pacific Rim, of Siegel+Gale. "The new name and visual identity represent the bold and fresh new perspective the organization brings to the technology landscape. It's what IT buyers have long been looking for—an alternative to the current business and offerings."

Siegel+Gale conducted in-depth, proprietary quantitative and qualitative research to assess the position of Curvature and its competitors in the market, and identify opportunities for building the brand. Working through the lens of simplicity, Siegel+Gale focused on Curvature's uniquely disruptive approach to the industry to develop a new brand positioning around revolutionizing the way people think about IT.

"Our former name no longer encapsulated everything our company had to offer," said Mike Sheldon, president and CEO of Curvature. "Our unique position in the IT market is a revolutionary alternative, and a significant change to the norm. The name Curvature reflects this."

To highlight this new direction, Siegel+Gale developed a new logo and visual identity system, which they helped bring to life through a new website.
