Experience Next-Level Perception

ChromaPop Brand Identity

Project Overview

Smith’s ChromaPop lens technology is synonymous with color, clarity, and high definition optics. Its proprietary coatings have been so well received that they’ve integrated it across all of their products spanning multiple sports, activities and seasons. Yet the visual communications of the technology weren’t easily explained.

We sought out to help better articulate what ChromaPop actually does by repositioning it from how it works, to what it can do for you. People care less about the science of it all and want to know what it allows them to do. By shifting its positioning, we were able to redefine the brand identity to support that promise, and delivered a comprehensive identity system.
