Swiss Life is emphasising its strategic realignment with a simplified brand structure and a new corporate identity. The new corporate identity links the company's longstanding tradition with its new goals, and will be gradually introduced in all the core markets by the end of 2005. In Switzerland, where the name "Rentenanstalt" will no longer be used in future, the changeover will commence in March 2004.
A new brand architecture and a fresh corporate identity are further steps in the implementation of the Swiss Life strategy. The previously complex brand structure with its many different names and corporate identities will now be replaced by a simple, clear architecture under the "Swiss Life" master brand. The name "Rentenanstalt" will be discontinued in future. The new look should enable the enterprise to position itself internationally as a leading provider of life insurance and pensions.
The new logo links the group's longstanding tradition with its new goals. The colour red and the Swiss cross represent the roots and origins of the enterprise, which has been in existence for almost 150 years. The three lines of the new pictogram symbolise the three major lines on the palm of the human hand. They convey the idea that the pensions business is all about people with individual requirements, and that Swiss Life and its employees are committed to ensuring these people's financial security.
The new corporate identity will gradually be introduced in all the core markets by the end of 2005, starting with Switzerland in March 2004. Between now and the end of 2005 the enterprise will invest a total of around CHF 15 million in the brand make-over, thus laying the foundation for building up an internationally strong and distinguished brand over the long-term.
The new Swiss Life corporate identity was developed by MetaDesign Zurich.
