Defining the “New Brand Design” was a collaborative effort. Different Stakeholders defined a foundation which is the base for every design. The digital stream includes App, Web and In-Car. It contains the overlaps between all three touchpoints like icons and maps. The design system we built was focused on web. We offer our stable foundation core, which includes components like buttons, dropdown, text inputs, … . All products represent an extra stream with their additional components and rules.

Who took part in the project:

• Cooperation with agencies: direct approx. 15, indirect approx. 25
• Cooperation with VW departments: direct approx.15, indirect approx. 35
• Brands: approx. 6-7 sub brands
• Over 100 direct stakeholders in the living style guide / design system development
• Roll-Out in over 100+ markets
• Development coordinated with 8 other “New Brand Design“ subprojects (spaces, signals, sound, imagery, etc.)
