We developed a flexible graphical system to reflect the precision and technical expertise that make up Octric’s semiconductors.

At the centre of the brand is the wafer device – symbolising the layers of expert precision and rigorous quality. This is paired with the gradient energy, which represents the connective energy that powers Octric’s semiconductors.

The ‘O’ Icon is paired with a bespoke Octric Wordmark and an extensive toolkit that is reflective of Octric’s positioning as a foundry for the next frontier.
