Story
Open English ONLINE. LEARNING. SOLUTION.
In 2007, we launched a groundbreaking product with the goal of giving students the most effective and affordable way to learn English from the comfort of their home or office. We built our model based on native English speaking teachers and multimedia content, eliminating the traditional barriers to learn a language: traffic, non-native teachers, outdated textbooks. We created Open English, a complete online learning solution with 24/7 access that quickly became the best English learning platform in the world. Open English has escalated like no other online language school since its inception, with an unprecedented explosion in the climbing number of enrolled students and the best part is, we’re just getting started.

The Mark 10
THE MARK | LOGO
Logo History In the summer of 2012, Open English partnered with Chermayeff & Geismar and Haviv, one of the most recognized identity & brand design firms in the world, to conceive our NEW visual identity. Chermayeff & Geismar is a pioneering graphic design firm with an innovative portfolio stretching over half a century. They specialize in the development of trademarks, print and motion graphics, exhibitions, and art in architecture. The firm’s global reach in Europe, Asia, Latin America, and the Middle East places Open English in the world
stage with the deployment of LP2.0 and its new visual identity. At first sight, this mark is quite simple. It is also appropriate and, most importantly, memorable. These three features give our Logo the ability to burn into your mind. The suggestions of the design structure are precise and fitting: is it a window? a door? a computer screen? The Open English logo can be all three; and that’s its beauty. Its success is bringing hope and opportunity to our students. 12

hello.
The Open English Blog Imagery The imagery for the Open English blog should be vibrant and current. The people should look friendly, the places should come alive, and the subjects should be clear and interesting. The design + style of our imagery should be global, because English is a global language. We place emphasis on Latin America, Brazil, and the US Hispanic market, but it’s OK to represent the world as we share English with everyone.
