VeriSign Enrolls Brook Group

Ellicott City, MD, March 19, 2004 — Brook Group, LTD announced today that they are creating simplified user interface designs for VeriSign, Inc. in an effort to help the company connect with thousands of businesses and millions of customers.

“If an interface isn’t easy to use, people won’t even consider it.”  Says Michelle Suazo, Brook Group Creative Director.

Brook Group is simplifying VeriSign’s complex technology so that the user is able to intuitively understand, interact with and confidently purchase the products.   Brook Group is helping VeriSign to create user interface designs for use in desktop software, application demonstrations, intranets and Web-based tradeshow displays.  All of these user interface designs involve consistency of branding, architecture, and design to help users understand the benefits and usability of VeriSign’s highly technical products.

“VeriSign chose Brook Group for this project because they knew we would pull together their highly complicated concepts and present their products as simple to understand and easy to use.”  Adds Suazo.  “In addition, they knew we could meet their demanding deadlines.”

Brook Group’s solution was to create an array of clean, simply structured interfaces using iconography and brand elements.  These new interfaces emphasize clarity and ease of use. 

Brook Group’s contract with VeriSign is on a continuing basis.  The work includes user experience and user interface consulting services, graphic design, logo and icon design, information architecture and programming.
