Stargrade came to me with the challenge to build a brand that communicates the calibre of their firm; visible enough to command attention, understated enough to reflect the intelligence and discretion that private security demands.
They already served high profile clients; from corporate executives to government officials but their identity at the time was fragmented and in a market where a company's visual presence signals its credibility before a single conversation takes place, the gap was costing them.
We built a brand and visual identity system that is cohesive and carefully reflects their expertise. The foundation of the work was a single positioning statement built to carry the brand across every context, client, and location: Do business anywhere without safety concerns.
The brand now holds its own in the rooms where Stargrade operates; in front of executives and government officials who make decisions based on trust, track record, and the signals a firm sends before it speaks.
Their new brand identity reflects precisely what Stargrade is: intelligent, prepared, and operating at the highest level.
What if a space brand didn’t just look futuristic — but felt like it was already living in the future?
For XPACE, the goal was to build a visual identity that could turn the idea of space exploration into a complete and immersive brand experience.
The identity combines a bold typographic system, a high-contrast visual language, and electric blue accents against deep black to create a futuristic presence that feels precise, technological, and unmistakably XPACE.
But the identity didn’t stop at the logo.
The system was extended across digital interfaces, web design, favicon and UI icons, access cards, board passes, and branded applications — creating a consistent experience across every touchpoint.
Every detail was designed to make XPACE feel less like a brand inspired by the future, and more like a brand built for it.
XPACE — Visual Identity System.
Looking to build a visual identity that goes beyond a logo?
Let’s create something with a world of its own.
The identity system feels cohesive because the typography, electric blue accents, and image language all push in the same direction. Extending that logic into interfaces and packaging is what makes XPACE feel like a real world, not just a futuristic logo.
