Things are looking a little different around here

Employment Industry Updates

As our fabulous alumni, and staff past and present are aware, we are always looking to innovate, to keep ourselves sharp, and to ensure we’re moving forward at the pace of the tech industry.

Today we have launched our new website, we still live at the same address, but you’ll see that we also have a whole new look and feel.

We felt 2024 was the right time to reshape our brand, so that it remains truly authentic to who we are and immediately identifies us as a forward thinking, human-led, tech-focused place of learning.

Is our mission still the same? Absolutely! Our focus continues to be transforming lives through innovative, human and inclusive tech education. We still want to transform the tech industry through our values of integrity, kindness, and effort and we still have specific goals to support more Māori, Pasifika and women into tech. We also have an unwavering commitment to honour the importance of aligning with Te Tiriti o Waitangi and striving to be a better Treaty partner.

What is changing?

Our logo looks a bit different as do our favicons.

We have gone through a bit of soul searching to figure out what makes us different from anyone else and we have rooted our new logo within that, drawing inspiration from the stepped Poutama pattern which signifies a pathway to the future for our students. This new approach is true to where we are as an organisation,  and has led us to a new visual identity that feels uniquely Dev Academy.

We have updated our typography, our imagery and we have a new illustrative element ,which is a bit quirky and fun… just like us.

And we have a vibrant new colour palette that's also diverse like us, and feels fresh and future forward.
