Starting With Strategy

As an employee-owned company with more than a century of history, O’Neil continues to combine craftsmanship, creativity, technology, and innovation to help brands communicate with greater clarity, consistency, and impact.

O’Neil’s transformation started with a simple question: how do you honor more than a century of trust while building a company ready for what comes next? The answer was not simply a logo or website redesign. It was about clarifying who O’Neil had become.

More than printing, O’Neil had evolved into a connected communications platform bringing together strategy, creative, technology, production, fulfillment, and customer experience. As an employee-owned company, the transformation also needed to reflect the people behind the work and the culture driving the business forward every day.

Together, we built a scalable brand and communication system designed to unify teams, simplify complexity, strengthen storytelling, and create a foundation for future growth.

Building The O'Neil Platform

O’Neil had evolved far beyond traditional printing. The brand needed to reflect the full ecosystem of capabilities, partnerships, technology, and creative thinking behind the company.

We helped create a connected platform that brought together O’Neil Printing, Rule29, Printing Solutions, YB2, and the broader 9Fold network into a clearer and more unified story.

The result was a system designed to flex across services, audiences, and future growth while maintaining a cohesive experience across every touchpoint.

A Brand That's Made to ImPRESS

Made to ImPRESS™ became more than a tagline. It became a reflection of how O’Neil approaches every interaction, every experience, and every customer relationship.

The identity system balances bold simplicity with energy and motion, creating a brand that feels established, modern, and built to stand apart in a changing industry.

From digital experiences and environmental graphics to presentations, packaging, signage, and branded systems, the new identity was designed to work consistently across every touchpoint while reinforcing the innovation and care behind the O’Neil name.

This is an exciting step forward for O’Neil and a great reflection of who we are.

The new brand and website showcase our story, our capabilities, and most importantly the people behind it all.

A Family of Sub-Brands

As O’Neil expanded its capabilities, the need for a flexible brand architecture became increasingly important. We developed a family of sub-brands and supporting systems that could live independently when needed while still feeling unmistakably connected to the larger O’Neil ecosystem. This created stronger consistency across internal initiatives, education, services, recruiting, marketing, and future growth opportunities.

A Place to Be Inspired

The O’Neil headquarters was designed to be more than an office. It became a physical extension of the brand itself.

Throughout the space, environmental graphics, messaging, materials, motion, and storytelling work together to create a connected experience that reflects the culture, creativity, and craftsmanship behind the company. Every wall, meeting space, and touchpoint was intentionally designed to inspire employees, welcome partners, and showcase the full capabilities of the O’Neil ecosystem.

The result is both a workplace and a living brand experience. A space designed to feel Made to ImPRESS™ while demonstrating the power of connected communication, print, environmental design, and creativity in action.

Every space became an opportunity to reinforce culture, inspire people, showcase the quality of the work, and turn the brand into an experience.

The brand refresh was more than a visual update; it was a strategic transformation. By aligning the brand's identity with its core purpose, we created a powerful and authentic foundation for future growth.

The result is a clear, confident, and connected brand equipped to not only navigate the complexities of today but to lead the way into tomorrow. This is creative that matters—delivering a measurable impact that will drive the business forward for years to come.
