SwissHoldings gets new brand identity from Studio Thom Pfister
SwissHoldings, a Swiss business association, unveiled a new visual identity and website, designed and developed by Bern-based agency Studio Thom Pfister. The core of the redesign is a new wordmark combining the initials 'S' and 'H', with the reduced 'H' subtly referencing the Swiss cross to evoke a connection to Switzerland through typography rather than illustration. The entire design system, including modular layouts, is derived from the geometry of the mark. New imagery featuring transparent glass objects symbolizes themes such as law, dialogue, growth, networking, and responsibility, complemented by photographs from business, politics, and society. The new website features a clear information architecture and a members-only area.
Brand identity redesign for an association; limited direct impact on AdTech/MarTech industry.

Yellow Rebrands as Strichpunkt Identity in Switzerland
Swiss agency Yellow has been rebranded and integrated as Strichpunkt Identity to create a locally anchored identity and brand-strategy practice within the MYTY Group. Reto Meyer and Philipp Brune say the move merges Yellow’s eight years of strategic brand experience with Strichpunkt’s infrastructure and specialist capabilities from German offices (Stuttgart, Berlin, Hamburg). The team, leadership and Basel location remain unchanged; clients and project contacts are retained. The agency emphasizes a shift from surface design to leadership-led brand identity, promoting a proprietary 'True Identity' framework and positioning itself as an 'Identity‑Driven Transformation Agency' able to support complex challenges such as generational change, international expansion and digital customer experiences. The change responds in part to perceived market shifts from AI-driven creative output toward deeper strategic brand work.

The redesign was developed through a participatory process involving more than 100 employees, residents, specialists, executive management and board members. The new mark is based on an Ü with three dots; a new accessibility-focused typeface, “Zueriwerk Sans,” was created with TypoType.
