We’re passionate about helping solar companies build strong brands that not only look great but also resonate with their audiences. We had the pleasure of working with EcoDesh Power Solutions—a growing solar company committed to providing sustainable energy solutions for homes, businesses, and communities. Our goal was to help EcoDesh define a distinct identity that would set it apart in a competitive market. The result? A complete Brand Style Guide that gives EcoDesh the tools to communicate its values with confidence.
Here’s a closer look at how we approached this project and why it’s been so impactful for EcoDesh.
Understanding the Brand: The Key to Building Trust
EcoDesh Power Solutions came to us with a specific need: they wanted a brand identity that could communicate their dedication to clean energy, attract both local and international clients, and foster trust. They had a great team, a strong mission, and a clear vision, but they needed a way to bring these elements together in a consistent and memorable brand.
From this starting point, we began our deep dive into what makes EcoDesh tick and how we could capture that in their brand style.
Building the Foundation: Our Approach to EcoDesh’s Brand Style Guide
To make sure every element of EcoDesh’s branding felt authentic and compelling, we took a methodical approach, ensuring each piece supported the others to create a unified brand image.
- Defining Core Values and Brand Personality: Every successful brand starts with its core values. Our team spent time with John and his team, discussing their mission, vision, and what sets them apart in the solar energy space. They spoke about the importance of reliability, sustainability, and community impact, which all became the backbone of the brand style.
- Establishing a Visual Identity That Tells a Story: For EcoDesh’s visuals, we focused on creating a look that was as clean and sustainable as their work. Here’s how we did it:
- Logo and Design Tweaks: While they already had a logo, we refined it with subtle changes that brought it in line with their new brand. The updated logo, with refreshed colors and sharper lines, mirrors EcoDesh’s professional yet approachable identity.
- Color Palette with Meaning: EcoDesh’s green-based color scheme was a deliberate aesthetic choice. Green tones speak to growth and sustainability, while calming grays and whites evoke trustworthiness. This color palette gave EcoDesh a professional and eco-conscious look that feels welcoming and dependable.
- Typography with Personality: Fonts are often an overlooked part of branding, yet they convey so much about a company’s personality. We selected a modern, sans-serif font that is easy to read on digital and print platforms and aligns with EcoDesh’s professional yet accessible vibe.
- Finding the Right Brand Voice and Tone: For a solar company like EcoDesh, the tone is the difference between an average solar company and an informed, passionate, and trustworthy brand. We created a voice that balances authority with friendliness, allowing EcoDesh to communicate confidently without coming across as overly technical or intimidating. We wanted their brand to feel like a knowledgeable guide for customers who are excited to make a positive impact on the planet.
EcoDesh’s brand voice is:
-
- Professional but Friendly: Striking a balance between informative and approachable, the tone assures customers that EcoDesh is an expert in solar solutions, but also relatable.
- Empathetic and Purpose-Driven: EcoDesh isn’t just about selling solar products—they’re committed to making a real difference. This commitment shines through in their brand messaging, connecting with customers on a deeper, values-driven level.
4. Consistency Across Marketing Materials
To bring all these elements together, we provided EcoDesh with templates and guidelines for everything from social media posts to brochures. This consistency ensures that every piece of EcoDesh’s marketing looks and feels like part of the same story, creating a cohesive brand that customers recognize and trust.
-
- Social Media Templates: Each template is on-brand, from color and logo placement to tone, ensuring that all posts look and sound like EcoDesh.
- Website Guidance: From web page layouts to blog style, we made sure EcoDesh’s online presence is consistent with the brand, helping visitors connect the dots across all platforms.
The Results: A Brand That Truly Stands Out
With a strong Brand Style Guide in hand, EcoDesh now has a clear path forward. They’ve embraced their new brand identity, and it’s made a visible difference in their marketing and customer interactions.
John Wachira shared his thoughts on how the Brand Style Guide has benefited EcoDesh:
The Brand Style Guide has been a game-changer for us. It’s helped our team feel confident that we’re all on the same page when we communicate with our clients. Customers recognize us right away, and they see the professionalism that comes with a consistent, well-thought-out brand.
Key Benefits EcoDesh Has Seen with the Brand Style Guide
- Enhanced Recognition in the Market: Consistency has increased EcoDesh’s visibility in a crowded solar market. Their brand now has a recognizable look, feel, and voice across all channels.
- Stronger Connections with Customers: With a brand that is clear, approachable, and purpose-driven, EcoDesh has been able to foster meaningful relationships with clients who care about clean energy.
- Streamlined Operations and Efficiency: Instead of reinventing the wheel with each piece of marketing, the team now has a reference to guide them. This has made creating new content faster and easier, reducing confusion and ensuring quality.
- Positioned for Long-Term Growth: As EcoDesh expands, new team members can use the guide to quickly get up to speed, ensuring the brand remains consistent as they grow.

The new Brand Style Guide has given EcoDesh Power Solutions a strong foundation to build on. With this brand, they’re better placed to make a lasting impact in the renewable energy market, appealing to environmentally conscious customers and standing out as a reliable, mission-driven company.
