A new look, and color that means something
REHL gets a new identity built around the one number the product exists to give you. Colour carries a lead's temperature and nothing else, on a green ground that deliberately means nothing at all.
New
Colour means score, everywhere
Cold, warm, hot and very hot are the only colors that carry product meaning. The old REHL blue is retired, along with every decorative accent that competed with it, so a colored lead is a lead you should look at rather than one somebody styled. The four states a system has to be able to shout about, success, warning, error and information, keep a color of their own, pulled well away from the four bands so the two can never be confused.
A ground to stand on
The first cut of this was black on bone, and it was too austere: with colour reserved for scores, a screen with nothing wrong on it had no colour at all. So the whole neutral range now sits on a deep green, and the chrome that frames your work, the navigation, the sidebar, the footer, carries a deeper shade of it. That green deliberately means nothing. It is the one colour in REHL that is never a status, which is what lets it be everywhere without competing with a reading.
The gauge
A calibrated 0 to 100 rule with the four bands drawn to scale and a needle at the reading. It is how REHL has always thought about a lead, so it is now the shape of the brand, and it appears on anything that talks about a score.
A new wordmark and typeface
REHL is set in Archivo, squared off, with the full stop and the blue dot gone. Scores, prices and dates stay in a monospaced face so columns of numbers line up and stay comparable.
