The Ingram Micro Caribbean Summit 2025 is an exclusive event designed to connect the 30 most important English-speaking Caribbean partners with globally recognized technology vendors. Our mission was to forge a brand identity that represented the convergence of two worlds: the sober and powerful corporate image of Ingram Micro with the unmistakable vitality of the Caribbean technology ecosystem.

 

Challenge

The client aimed to position the summit as an elite business platform. The brand needed to be sophisticated and aspirational— a true symbol of innovation and connection. The real challenge lay in subtlety: how to evoke Caribbean energy without falling into clichés, and how to convey business seriousness through a dynamic visual palette. It was a balancing act, finding the precise point where the corporate merged with the cultural, creating an identity that felt modern, relevant, and exclusive.


Solution

Our vision was built on a conceptual synergy: the Caribbean, as a mosaic of interconnected islands, and technology, as a system of data and networks. This concept materialized at the core of the design: the number “25” in the logo.

The design of the “25” is a geometric module, an assembly of blocks that come together to form a whole. Each block represents a partner, a vendor, or an idea, and their cohesion symbolizes the event’s purpose: to build strong alliances and foster growth through unity. The color palette was no accident; it is a carefully crafted gradient of magenta, orange, turquoise, and violet—hues drawn from the spectrum of a Caribbean sunset, yet executed with a clarity that evokes technological modernity and dynamism. This palette became the guiding thread that unified the entire visual experience.

Soprize: Engineering the «Aha!»

Moment Crafting a High Energy Identity for the Future of Gifting

The Scope

Soprize is a digital ecosystem where Surprise meets Prize. Ciao Creative Lab was commissioned to engineer the brand’s foundational identity, translating this phonetic fusion into a scalable visual architecture. We developed the core brand assets: logo, chromatic system, and typography, establishing the aesthetic framework that governs the entire brand experience.



BRAND ARCHITECTURE

The identity is anchored by a logo that balances geometric precision with the kinetic energy of a reward. A minimalist icon designed for the digital economy. It is optimized for high speed recognition, functioning as a clear visual anchor in mobile interfaces and notification heavy environments. Structural Harmony: The mark represents the exact moment of discovery, the unboxing, using clean lines that ensure legibility at any scale, from app icons to large format digital displays. Chromatic Dynamics & Typography: Because Soprize operates in the competitive landscape of digital rewards, the visual toolkit was designed to command attention through high impact contrast. Color Strategy: We moved away from traditional tech palettes to embrace a high energy chromatic system. These colors were selected for their ability to trigger an immediate psychological association with the win, providing a visual shortcut to the feeling of a reward. Typographic Voice: The selected typefaces bridge the gap between technical reliability and human approachability. This ensures that every communication, regardless of the platform, maintains a clear, authoritative, yet inviting tone.

The Outcome

Our intervention focused on delivering a robust Brand DNA. We created a comprehensive set of rules and assets that define how the brand lives and breathes. While the digital product continues to evolve through various implementations, the visual foundation established by Ciao provides the necessary consistency and aesthetic rigor to ensure the brand remains recognizable, cohesive, and premium across all future touchpoints. While the platform continues to evolve, the visual DNA we established provides the consistency and emotional resonance needed to turn a simple prize into a true surprise.
