Backsheet is a digital case preparation tool for trial lawyers, designed to reduce the bundles of paperwork they traditionally carry to court.

Product naming

Each bundle is wrapped in a piece of paper, called the ‘backsheet’, to identify its contents and then tied together with a pink ribbon. It is these two simple concepts that inspired the approach behind both the brand name and visual identity.

We immersed ourselves in the world of trial lawyer, through a process of discovery, research and stakeholder engagement, to understand how the product will improve traditional ways of working. A backsheet is a term known by all lawyers, so we embraced this as a brand name to create a clever link between the product and the audience/sector. 

Brand strategy

A key element of the brand strategy was to create a compelling strapline. Through discovery, it was clear that well prepared lawyers, with facts at their fingertips, are more successful in court. In short – facts win cases. We backed this emotive strapline with a series of key messages and a supporting visual identity that positioned Backsheet as a premium, sector leading application that would align with the target market.

A icon suite, with accompanying small scale versions for UI, supports the visual identity and has been designed to complement the brand marque and extend the ribbon concept.

From tactile to digital

The logo itself is created using a real piece of backsheet pink ribbon as a way to visually connect the product to its origins and to create a recognisable brand marque.
