Today DeSimone unveils a new evolved visual expression of our brand—designed by Pentagram. It honors our roots and core values while expressing DeSimone’s forward-looking vision, creative agility, tenacious problem-solving, and focus on leveraging our interdisciplinary services for the betterment of humanity.

The distinctive, contemporary wordmark firmly embraces our past focus and strengths—like redefining urban skylines with the structural design of some of the most iconic and daring tall buildings around the world. It captures DeSimone’s longstanding reputation for trusted and personal client service, innovative structural engineering, technical excellence, and commitment to relationships.

But our new visual identity says even more—it reflects our dynamic global growth, strategic evolution, expansion into specialized services—and decades of rarefied independence.

Along with our new wordmark, we’ve launched a new website, desimone.com (designed by Sid Lee), and introduced a new tagline, “Bridging Science and Humanity,” that emphasizes one of DeSimone’s most valued core beliefs—that everything we do leverages science and technical expertise in service of humanity.

You can read our full announcement and description of the new visual identity here: https://www.desimone.com/newsroom/press-release-brand-announcement

Let us know what you think of our new visual identity and website in the comments!

In the UK, public infrastructure is facing an unprecedented structural challenge. - or reinforced autoclaved aerated concrete - has been shown to be inherently susceptible to water damage, meaning many structures are under threat. Recently, more than 150 schools have been found to prominently feature RAAC in their designs, putting children at risk.

In this article from Euronews, which goes into detail on the risk RAAC poses and how the UK can recover from this crisis, Stuart Bosely, Managing Director at DeSimone in the UK, explains that "due to its lightweight, RAAC planks were commonly used for flat roofing, which is a primary reason the present circumstances are perilous. In the 1990s, even as RAAC was still in use, structural engineers found that its durability wasn't enduring over the years."

This crisis will inevitably require enormous effort to prevent danger in the schools it affects, and structural engineers will play a key role as remediating works are undertaken.

As schools across the country are forced to partially close and London airports confirm their buildings have RAAC, Euronews takes a look at the impact RAAC has and will have going forward.
