MAPlinx – Logo design

MAPlinx, Tecan’s next-generation OEM software platform has been designed based on fully
pre-tested modular building blocks. Guided by this idea, our inspiration was to show the symbol
of that connection. We used blue and gray colors to create harmony and balance.

Magellan – Logo design

Magellan is the universal reader control and data analysis software from Tecan. It supports the
complete line of Tecan microplate readers enabling quick and easy measurements of samples.
We created a logo in a warm and bright color using recognizable typography.

SparkControl – Logo design

The Spark multimode microplate reader platform offers solutions to suit virtually any life science research and drug discovery applications. Since we already had a square symbol as a landmark, spark inside this quadrate was expected because of the software’s name. The blue color was taken from the interface style.

D300e Control – Logo design

The system’s powerful software combines advanced experimental design with intuitive operation. Since the  Tecan’s D300e Digital Dispenser is made for automatic dispense any volume into any well of any assay plate,  we created outlined and filled pear-shaped drops of liquid to symbolize software’s purpose.

FluentControl – Logo design

Defined with a range of fresh color palette and strong sans serif uppercase letters.

“Four Value” Poster design

Illustration

For a visual explanation of a text, we draw simple and distinctly illustrations. In the first place, it should be understandable for users. Illustrations were used in interface design and later implemented in Tecan software.

December 2013
Styleguide

In order to consolidate all the colors and fonts used for Graphical user interface, we created Styleguide for Tecan. It was important to follow their identity and that all the Softwares they made have the same sizes for each button, text or field. All of that for one reason – make Tecan recognizable on the market.

Desktop-Version

FluentControl is packed with features like Smart Commands, allowing you to program common tasks – such as distributing a reagent or transferring samples in replicate – with a single command.
