FAQs

What's changing at Verne?

We’re evolving our brand to better reflect the company Verne has become. Over recent years, Verne has grown in scale, capability, and ambition — and our brand is now catching up with that reality. This is a natural evolution, not a sudden rebrand, designed to feel calmer, more confident, and more aligned with how we actually operate today
Why are we doing a brand refresh now?

The previous “Verne Global” brand no longer fully represented:
  • Our pan-European footprint
  • Our role in AI and high-density computing
  • Our maturity as a business

The refreshed brand supports long-term growth, strengthens credibility with customers, partners, and analysts, and creates a clearer platform for the next phase of Verne’s journey

Are we changing the company name?

No — we are simply using “Verne” more consistently. The business has already dropped “Global” from its name, and the brand and website are now aligning with that reality
What’s happening to the website?

Our website is moving from verneglobal.com to verne.co

This gives us: 
  •  A simpler, more modern digital home 
  •  Clearer positioning alongside modern infrastructure and technology brands
  •  Less confusion for customers, analysts, and partners 
  •  A better foundation for future growth

All existing pages on verneglobal.com will automatically redirect to the new site, so nothing is lost 

Why verne.co and not verne.com?

The verne.com domain is owned by a third party and hasn’t been available to acquire. Using verne.co allows us to keep the brand short, clean, and consistent without compromising clarity or usability
Will my email address change?

Yes — but in a straightforward and low-impact way.
You will have a new primary email address:


However — and this is important:

  • Your existing @verneglobal.com address will remain as an alias
  • You will continue to receive all emails sent to your old address 
  • No emails will be lost

From an employee perspective, email will continue to work exactly as expected 

Do I need to tell my contacts about the new email address?

We will be providing a temporary email signature that highlights that we are changing domain, emails will come from verne.co but that it is still the same company. You may want to inform your contacts personally overtime but there is no immediate rush

Because your old address remains an alias: 
  • Emails sent to @verneglobal.com will still reach you
  • External contacts won’t suddenly “lose” you
  • You can transition naturally by replying from your new @verne.co address 

Think of it as a gradual shift, not a hard cut-over 

Will this affect internal systems or access?

No material impact is expected for day-to-day work 

The domain change and brand rollout are being managed carefully to avoid disruption. Tools, access, and internal systems will continue to function as normal for employees
What’s staying the same?

A lot — including the things that matter most

  • Our culture and values
  • Our focus on engineering excellence and sustainability
  • The people and teams you work with every day
  • How we operate internally

This is about how we present ourselves, not about changing who we are 

When will I start seeing the new brand?

You’ll see it roll out across:
  • The new website
  • Presentations and templates
  • External communications
  • Marketing and recruitment materials 

The transition is intentional and phased — you don’t need to update everything overnight 

Where can I get help or assets?

Brand guidelines, templates, and support materials are being shared centrally so everyone has what they need to use the new brand confidently and consistently
What’s the most important thing for employees o know?

This is a positive milestone for Verne

The refreshed brand and move to verne.co reflect:
  • The scale we’re now operating at 
  • The markets we’re competing in
  • The confidence we have in the business and its future

For most employees, the change will feel logical, calm, and low-friction — exactly as it’s intended to. 

Do I need to update my email signature?

Yes — when the new brand is live, we’ll provide an updated email signature template using:
  • The new Verne brand
  • The @verne.co domain 
There’s no urgency on day one, but we do ask everyone to switch over once the templates are shared so external communications feel consistent.
What should I do if someone emails or refers to “Verne Global”?

That’s completely expected during the transition. 
You can simply:
  •  Refer to us as Verne going forward
  •  Use the new website or email domain naturally in replies

There’s no need to “correct” people formally — the brand shift will settle over time as the new name and domain become the norm. 

Can I still use old Verne Global presentations or documents?

For internal, working documents — yes, in the short term
For anything customer-facing, external, or high-visibility:
  •  Please switch to new branded templates once they’re available
  • This helps avoid confusion and ensures we present a consistent, modern image
Updated templates and assets will be shared centrally to make this easy.
What’s changing in how Verne looks and sounds?


You’ll notice:

  • A calmer, more confident visual identity 

  • Fewer bright or hype-led elements 
  • More focus on people, engineering excellence, sustainability, and intelligence 

The tone is intended to feel: 

  • Human
  • Assured
  • Grown-up
    rather than loud or sales-driven. 
How does this affect LinkedIn, job titles, or bios?


Over time, we encourage everyone to: 

  • Use Verne rather than Verne Global 

  • Reference verne.co rather than verneglobal.com 

There’s no requirement to update everything immediately — this is a gradual shift, not a policing exercise. 

Will there be new brand assets or merchandise?


Yes. 
The refreshed brand will be rolled out across:

  • Presentation templates
  • Sales and marketing materials
  • Event assets
  • Merchandise 

As always, the focus is on quality, longevity, and usefulness, rather than disposable or short-term items. 

Does this change our strategy or priorities as a company?

No. 
What’s changing is how clearly and confidently we express:
  • Who we are
  • What we’re good at
  • Where Verne is heading 

Our strategy, values, and operational focus remain the same. 

Who should I contact if I’m unsure how to apply the new brand?


If you’re ever unsure:

  • Which logo to use

  • Which logo to use
  • Whether something needs updating
  • How to apply the new look or tone 

There will be clear guidance and a central place to access assets and support, so you don’t have to guess.

What’s the best way for me to support the brand refresh?


Three simple things make the biggest difference:

  1.  Use Verne consistently 
  2.  Transition to verne.co naturally in communications
  3. Adopt new templates and assets once shared

That’s it — no big gestures required. 

What do we mean by “using the brand correctly”?

Using the brand correctly means applying the new visual identity and tone of voice consistently across everything we do — presentations, emails, documents, marketing materials, and external communications

The brand guidelines are there to: 
  • Make things easier, not harder
  • Ensure consistency across teams and regions
  • Help Verne look calm, confident, and credible wherever we show up 
They are practical guardrails, not creative limitations
How should the Verne brand feel?

The refreshed Verne brand is designed to feel:
  • Confident, calm, and intelligent
  • Human and considered
  • Grounded in engineering excellence and sustainability 
We are intentionally moving away from:
  • Overly hype-led language
  • Heavy use of adjectives
  • “Shouty” or sales-first messaging 

If in doubt: clear, simple, and assured is always the right direction

Has our tone of voice changed?

Yes — slightly, and deliberately.
Our tone is now:
  • More measured and grown-up
  • Less promotional, more factual
  • Confident without being arrogant

We want Verne to sound like experts who don’t need to over-explain or oversell, whether we’re talking to customers, analysts, partners, or candidates

Can I still write in my own voice?

Absolutely. 
The guidelines don’t exist to make everyone sound the same. They exist to ensure we:
  • Avoid extremes (too hype-led or too technical)
  • Sound like one company, not many 
You should still write naturally — just align with the overall Verne tone and principles when communicating externally or on behalf of the company
What are the biggest “do’s and don’ts” of the new brand?


Do:

  • Use the approved logos, colours, and templates 
  • Keep language simple, clear, and direct
  • Let facts, capability, and outcomes do the talking

Avoid:

  • Old Verne Global logos or visual assets
  • Over-describing or over-selling
  • Creating one-off designs that don’t align with the core system

Consistency is far more important than creativity for creativity’s sake 

How should I approach presentations and slides?


For presentations:

  • Please use the new Verne templates once available
  • Keep slides clean, focused, and uncluttered
  • Favour strong structure over dense content

The new visual system is intentionally calmer — whitespace, hierarchy, and restraint are features, not bugs 

What about imagery and visuals?

The Verne visual world is now rooted in: 
  • Natural materials and environments
  • People, engineering, and real infrastructure
  • A Nordic aesthetic that feels modern and elemental

 Avoid:

  • Overly abstract or decorative visuals 
  • Bright neon gradients from the old brand
  • Stock imagery that feels generic or exaggerated 
Imagery should feel real, credible, and considered
Can teams adapt the brand for local or regional use?

Yes — within the framework.
The brand is designed to be:
  • Flexible across markets 
  • Consistent at a global level

Local nuance is encouraged, but the core identity, tone, and visual foundations should remain the same so Verne feels like one company wherever it operates

What should I do if I’m creating something new and I’m unsure?

Don’t guess
If you’re unsure about:
  • Layout
  • Colour usage
  • Tone of voice
  • Whether something “feels right” 
Use the brand guidelines and templates as your starting point, or ask for guidance. It’s always better to align early than retrospectively fix something later
Is this brand “finished”?

No — and that’s intentional.
The brand has been built as a system, not a one-off launch: 
  • It will evolve as Verne grows
  • It’s designed to scale across markets and capabilities
  • Feedback and learning are part of the process 
What matters most is consistency, clarity, and confidence over time
What’s the one thing employees should remember when using the new brand?

The Verne brand works best when we:
  • Trust it
  • Keep things simple
  • Let the substance of what we do speak for itself

Calm confidence beats volume — every time.
