Introducing a Refreshed Visual Identity

Logo

Building the foundation set by our strong corporate values, Ascend Partners is thrilled to unveil a refreshed logo to visually represent who we are today and the impact we wish to make in the world. The new logo, with its simple and elegant design, reflects our organization’s maturity, our premium level of service as a OneStream Diamond Partner, and our straight-forward, yet bold nature. It also symbolizes the guidance we aim to provide for our clients - just as one relies on navigation technology to chart a course through unknown territory to reach new destinations, Ascend is with our clients every step of the way to navigate the challenges of finance transformation and rise above to reach their business goals.

Colour Palette

Our refreshed color palette strikes a balance between corporate and conservative with accents of vibrancy.


Imagery & Graphics

Woven throughout the new Ascend brand are subtle nods to navigation technology and wayfinding themes to symbolize our reputation of delivering expert guidance as clients embark on complex and sophisticated finance transformation journeys. Aerial images of landscapes and cityscapes from unexpected vantage points offer an abstracted visual play on the "ascend" name, alluding to the fresh perspectives we bring to our projects, providing finance leaders new lines of sight into their business data through OneStream.

Typography

Inspired by newspaper headlines – considered by many as trusted and credible sources of truth - Ascend's new brand leverages elegant and clean typefaces that balance impact and legibility.

Along with our new logo, we look forward to introducing updated brand elements and visual assets in the weeks to follow, including the Ascend Partners booth at OneStream Splash in Las Vegas in May 2024, followed by additional marketing materials and a new website launching this summer.


At Ascend Partners, our clients have always been at the heart of everything we do. As we embark on the next chapter of our journey, we remain dedicated to delivering innovative solutions that empower businesses to thrive in an ever-changing landscape. Our refreshed visual identity is a testament to our ongoing commitment to excellence and our relentless pursuit of success for our clients.


We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all our clients, OneStream, and team members who have supported us over the past decade. Your trust and collaboration have been instrumental in our success, and we look forward to continuing to serve you with the same dedication and passion that has defined Ascend Partners since day one.


As we celebrate our 10th anniversary and unveil our refreshed visual identity, we reaffirm our commitment to helping businesses ascend to new heights of success. Here's to the next decade of innovation, growth, and partnerships that propel us forward together.


Thank you for being a part of our journey.
