Kemper Insurance Companies refocused its underwriting policies in 2000 in order to keep up with the ever-changing insurance needs of America's businesses. Their goal was to shed the image of a traditional firm with old-fashioned offerings.
Kemper had, in fact, developed many innovative, creative policies tailored to professional service firms such as accounting, law and architecture and construction-related companies such as contractors, developers and heavy equipment handlers.
Over the course of eight months, and after research and 50+ interviews with key Kemper personnel and customers, we designed the insurance logo shown above.
The new Kemper logo retains the heritage blue color and combines it with a dynamic and substantial, computer-customized typeface. The stylized "K" to the left of the name is both a reminder of the oval of stars that surrounded their early 1900's logo and provides a sense of movement that better describes this forward-looking company.
