Google Future Workplace


R/GA collaborated with the Real Estate & Workplace Services (REWS) team at Google to create a brand and design system for internal use. The goal of this system was to inspire and inform Google employees about returning to the office and to provide guidance on how to communicate, present, and create excitement about the return. The project includes a playbook and design toolkit to be used for internal implementation over the next year.

We needed to show Googlers what they’ll gain by helping shape the future of work at Google and remind Googlers the greatness that happens when they’re together. Our job was to help develop a narrative and a visual system with the goal of not only informing, but getting and keeping Googlers excited about being back in the office.



Our XD team identified key behaviors REWS supports in its workplace environment, and we developed a brand system based on these behaviors, applying it to color, shape and language across Google workplace touchpoints.

Using tools readily available to all Googlers (such as shapes in Google Slides), we created a visual system to inform and excite about being back in the office.
We wrapped this up in a playbook and design toolkit complete with bespoke illustrations, animations, and an extensible design system.
