Arevo
After a decade of quiet science, a Swedish agtech finally stood up to be counted.
Arevo had spent ten years quietly commercialising arginine-based crop nutrition — a fundamentally different way to feed plants, born out of research at the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences. Then the market caught up. Biostimulants and sustainability claims crowded in, and Arevo risked blending into a green wash of sameness.
The brief
Five truths to deliver, simultaneously: stand apart in a category drifting toward sameness, speak with confidence after years of understatement, expand beyond forestry into broad-acre agriculture, make the science easier to grasp, and turn farmer scepticism into curiosity backed by proof.
The approach
Strategy first. Internal interviews and surveys. Competitive mapping. Independent customer research. Board alignment. Only then did design begin. The organising idea: real change starts at the root. The new "A" mark stands at once for Arevo, arginine, and Arginex — and reads as a root reaching downward.
The decision
The boldest move was a colour. Agriculture defaults to green, brown, and blue. Arevo chose red — pulled directly from the seed-coating pigment of the product itself. Not everyone was comfortable. Red felt risky. After years of being overlooked, the team chose to commit.

The outcome
A confident, science-first identity that lets Arevo be clearer — rather than louder, or greener. In a category built on trust, clarity may be the strongest signal of all.
