The reframing of Innovecs Games as a sub-brand is aligned with the significant growth and transformation taking place within the Innovecs gaming practice. Along with the brand identity update, it embodies the energy and enthusiasm of the entire team and demonstrates the dynamism of Innovecs gaming studio.

Innovecs undertook this launch to officially position its Games Studio’s services and expertise in the global Game Development market. For the past seven years, the team has been steadily developing to eventually mark a major milestone in its evolution as a sub-brand of Innovecs.

“Since the inception of a specialized vertical in 2015, Innovecs Games has morphed into the cutting-edge company realm, with a team helping create game development solutions for more than 50 clients in 15 countries. During this time, they have developed over 200 projects, assisting game studios and startups in building innovative games. This success made us rethink our image in the gaming tech arena and intensify this vertical as a sub-brand”, — Alex Lutskiy, Founder and CEO at Innovecs, commented.

As of 2022, Innovecs Games has provided a full range of end-to-end game development solutions for clients such as Zynga, JamCity, Warner Bros. Games, Gameloft, etc. The team’s work is divided into two areas: game development (including mobile games, artwork, 3D characters & environment design, animation, playable ads) and iGaming (focused on platform development).

Innovecs Games also sought to showcase its growth in the past year with new brand elements, including the new logo and motto. Throughout its history, Innovecs Games has owed its evolution to the team steadily improving both service and business processes while consistently expanding expertise areas. Such a meaningful progression required re-evaluation of how Innovecs Games should appear to team members, partners and customers. The visual component of the sub-brand is coherent with the depth of the team’s experience, values and ideals they are committed to.

“Creating a visual concept of the sub-brand in particular, the team strives to accomplish its primary purpose of becoming the best partner for flagship game development studios. Innovecs Games remains a credible, approachable, and predictable ally for customers across game development industry”, — says Oleksii Isaiev, Head of Innovecs Games and VP of Delivery at Innovecs.

The exceptional capacity of Innovecs Games is rooted in the team’s passion for games, an earnest desire to contribute creatively and provide business value to the industry. Also, one of the core values ​​of the Innovecs Games crew is freedom of expression and trust among customers and colleagues. The new visual style mirrors and radiates the team’s values.

“The most valuable virtue of Innovecs Games is a professional, friendly and integrated team, our people. Therefore, developing each team member and providing career prospects are among the Innovecs Games key points. We’d love to see our teammates grow and become experts of their field and leaders. Enabling our people growth with helpful trainings, clear career path and useful experience is part of our strategy. I honestly believe that the most precious thing a company can give to a team member is the knowledge to carry further along their career journey,” — Oleksii Isaiev shared his vision.

Since 2015, Innovecs Games provides a full range of complex solutions for game development, in which many satisfied clients were convinced.
