CHARTED | DRIFT

LOGO, STICKERS

CHARTED and DRIFT are follow on projects from UNIVERSE-HPC. CHARTED aims to address skill shortages in research computing by creating a hub that charts routes for Research Technical Professionals, connects training and roles, develops tools to navigate the ecosystem, and links UK and global communities across HPC and beyond. DRIFT aims to improve accessibility and broaden engagement with Digital Research Infrastructure by developing targeted training and resources for research facilitators, interdisciplinary teams, and disciplines new to large-scale computing.

The team requested that the branding for CHARTED and DRIFT build on the visual identity of UNIVERSE-HPC, highlighting their connection while giving each project its own distinct character. Drawing on the acronyms, the compass and boat themes were developed as symbolic anchors for their identities.

Teal was carried over from UNIVERSE-HPC to ensure continuity, while a bold red accent was introduced to add contrast and vibrancy.

To support outreach and visibility, traditional hex stickers were also designed for use as merchandise and promotional material.
