SIGMA ADVISORY
When less is the whole point: brand development for Sigma Advisory
Brand direction, visual identity and creative positioning for a private wealth advisory firm.
THE STORY
Financial advisory is a category where everyone says the same things. Trust. Expertise. Partnership. The words have been borrowed so many times they've stopped meaning anything.
Sigma Advisory is a firm that helps growth-minded businesses replace operational chaos with clear systems and capable leadership. The work is serious and the clients are serious. What they needed wasn't a louder way to say the usual things.
They needed a brand that could hold the same quiet authority they hold in a room.
Deep navy. Clean serif. A horizontal rule that separates the name into two parts without breaking it. Nothing decorative. Nothing that reaches. The identity doesn't announce itself. It assumes its own credibility, which is exactly how the firm operates.
The voice followed the same logic. Clarity as confidence, not performance.
WHAT IT TAUGHT ME
Restraint is a decision that has to be made repeatedly. Every element you leave out is a choice. The discipline is in knowing what the brand can carry without being said.

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.
Dar Almaghrib Moroccan Café Brand Identity & Logo DesignA complete brand identity for Dar Almaghrib, a Moroccan-inspired café bringing the warmth of Marrakech to the Pacific Northwest.
The identity centers on a custom logo lockup pairing fluid Arabic calligraphy for "دار المغرب" with a clean, modern English wordmark, supported by an original geometric icon inspired by traditional zellige tilework sharp-edged and fully custom, not a stock motif.
The palette blends deep olive green, warm terracotta, cream beige, and a soft brass-gold accent colors drawn from Moroccan earth tones and the calm forests of the PNW, built for a premium, welcoming feel across cups, signage, packaging, and menus.

B has more life to it, that wing gradient gives it some motion the flat mark in A doesn't have. Are you pricing these as one-off logo packs or is there a bigger identity system behind them?
