RIMKUS

The science of certainty

Rimkus is a US-based international consulting firm whose engineers, scientists, and technical experts answer the most complex questions in forensics, construction, and the built environment. Founded in 1983, the firm has grown to more than 750 professionals across offices in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Rimkus had not refreshed its identity since the 1990s. Rapid growth, including 8 companies acquired between 2020 and 2021, left a patchwork of logos, palettes, and voices. The task was one brand worthy of the expertise and built for the growth ahead.

An open R, built to grow

The new mark centers on an open R, drawn so the letter never fully closes, a signal that Rimkus's growth has no limit. Balanced against a bold, engineered wordmark, it reads as precise, confident, and built to last, carried by a navy and teal palette designed for legibility and contrast.

A brand film, Rimkus Rebrand Story, brought the rebrand to employees and clients, translating decades of hard-won expertise into a single, forward-looking story the whole company, and every future acquisition it takes on, could rally behind for years to come.

A brand engineered for acquisition

The identity was designed to grow. A naming and onboarding playbook brings every newly acquired company under one Rimkus master brand on a defined timeline: announce and align, transition assets, then retire the legacy name for good so the company operates exclusively as Rimkus.
