Google came to Speck intending to break into the data transferring service. Google wanted to steer away from the often generic-looking industrial hardware associated with data transferring technology. Another challenge would be differentiating this product from the competition by expressing the Google brand identity through styling and industrial design. The solution as a whole needed to be competitive, marketable, and provocative. The goal was to create a functional server with strong aesthetic appeal symbolizing the strength and reliability that Google is known for. Functional challenges included stackability and ergonomics. Aesthetic challenges consisted of brand recognition, color, texture, and invoking an emotional connection from the consumer.
Speck combined the forces of the industrial and engineering teams to create a successful solution for Google. Speck provided the strongest outcome with this multidisciplinary approach--creating an aesthetically pleasing, user-friendly, brand-oriented, high-quality, and reliable solution for Google Cloud.
Speck achieved Google's goals by engendering respect and empathy for all disciplines, thus ensuring accountability from all team members. The Google brand came to life with the creation of a physical counterpart to a Google service. One that customers can easily recognize and interact with. Google used the renders produced by Speck to announce the launch of its Transfer Appliance.
