Micromata

Micromata makes success programmable. Machbar updates its brand and presence.

Twenty-five years ago, a young and intrepid team of enthusiasts launched Micromata. Today, with over 170 employees and renowned clients, it enjoys an excellent reputation as a competent and sustainable digitisation partner. Machbar has supported Micromata since its inception, ensuring its communication remains a step ahead in a dynamic market.

Brand Creation

Editorial Design

Quelltext – the Micromata magazine

Machbar designs the employee and customer magazine several times a year. 'Quelltext' features flexible page and article designs, high-quality illustrations, and the 'nerdy' details integral to Micromata's brand. For instance, the table of contents is named 'TABLEOFCONTENTS', and articles conclude with an HTML tag.

The font mix developed by Machbar creates a distinctive, technical aesthetic while ensuring excellent readability. Each issue features a custom colour palette, derived from Micromata's primary brand colours.The flexible layout incorporates both 4-column and 5-column page grids. The odd number of columns allows for versatile placement of marginal elements.
