Bolder, Cleaner, Unmistakably Us

After more than three decades in business, we are excited to unveil a refreshed logo. Our new design is a deliberate step forward for the company, honoring who we are, what we have built, and feeding the momentum towards the future.

While our look is evolving, our commitment to our people and our clients remains unchanged. Relationships have always been at the heart of who we are, within our teams and with the clients we serve. While our brand may look different, the values that define us as a company and the dedication that has earned our clients’ trust remain the foundation of CES.

Behind Our New Design

Hand-drawn in 1994 by founder George Keithan’s wife, Mary, the crosshairs over our “C” reflect precision and the attention to detail that we hold so dear. These precise lines now run through bolder, more modern lettering. The lines create openings through the letters, or windows of opportunity. The windows symbolize the idea of inviting possibility; an understanding that the best outcomes begin with curiosity. Together, these elements create a logo that feels familiar and honors where we have been as a company while embracing new possibilities.

Over the decades, CES has grown into new markets and expanded its presence across the country. As we approached designing a new logo, we knew it needed to represent that forward momentum and welcome the possibilities ahead. It was important to recognize the qualities that our original logo has long represented for CES.

The Meaning Behind “Inviting Possibility”

As engineers, we rely on data and science to design building systems that create a better human experience. Technical expertise is at the core of what we do, but so is listening, asking thoughtful questions, and exploring new ideas. That’s what Inviting Possibility means to us. It represents our innate curiosity to challenge boundaries and think beyond the equation. In our work, it means uncovering opportunities that might otherwise be missed, from designing net-zero buildings to reworking ventilation around the architecture of a historic home.

Internally, Inviting Possibility is at the heart of our culture, encouraging employees to follow their passions and realize their full potential. It means eliminating obstacles and encouraging growth in any direction that inspires them most.

Carrying Momentum Forward

This refreshed identity honors the foundation we’ve built while reflecting the company we’re continuing to become. The look is new, but our commitment to our clients and the values that have guided us from the beginning remain the same. We’re excited for what comes next…
