Network Wireless Solutions
A new identity for a telecommunications pioneer.
To reintroduce itself after a merger with Canada’s Gap Wireless, Network Wireless Solutions, or NWS, tapped Rivers for a brand refresh. We built a new messaging framework centered on imaginative telecom solutions, iconography that evokes accessibility and a color scheme that honors the legacy of previous brands.

We created a dynamic logo by putting a unique spin on the pulsating semicircle, a universal motif for connectivity. The centrality of purple honors Gap Wireless, which forwent its old, red-dominant logo for NWS blue following the acquisition.
Like the array of services NWS provides, their new patterns are diversified and expansive. Our team stratified patterns into three levels: simple, to represent abstract concepts in their most basic form; intermediate, to accompany text or photography; and complex, to generate further visual interest.
A telecommunications brand isn’t complete without an extensive set of icons. Brochures, manuals, sales sheets and more rely on visual shorthand to represent business units and technical capabilities, so we created a custom, two-color icon library for distinctiveness and clarity.
