MOODBOARD

IDENTITY

For the mark, I combined the bank and eye symbols in a simple and modern way. I gave the edges some roundedness to make it friendly. The result is a mark that is friendly and sturdy.

After exploring the logotype for a while, I chose to go with a sans serif typeface: Proxima nova. I added the eye shape in the “i” and tweaked the typeface around the edges of letters i, n, h, and p to give it a rounded feel matching the mark perfectly, like they were destined for each other.

PATTERN

IMAGERY

For the imagery, I chose to make use of pictures and scenarios that feel parental or big-brotherly. That’s what the brand is about: watching your back, guiding you every step of the way so you don’t make wrong money turns.
