Symposia is a Paris-based initiative that brings executives together around carefully orchestrated private dinners. Not a club, not a network. One table, a meal prepared by the host, and people chosen to truly meet. For Symposia, I handled both the brand design and the web design: a complete visual identity, then the website built around it.

Premium networking is a market saturated with cold codes: opaque selection, corporate tone, dark and distant visuals. Symposia had to stand out with the opposite promise: selective at the door, but deeply warm inside. The challenge: build an identity that inspires trust without ever feeling cold.

A completely blank page. No existing logo, no color constraints. We started from the essence of the project: a table, people who resemble each other, and that rare moment when titles fade away. The identity had to carry that: not just another event brand, but something that feels like a dinner at the home of someone you respect.

A brand that doesn't try to impress. It reassures. It attracts without imposing, selects without excluding. You step into the world of Symposia the way you step into a well-kept apartment on a winter evening: you immediately feel it's serious, but nobody is putting on a show. That is the perceived value. Not displayed prestige. Felt quality.

An identity that feels like Symposia before you even read the name. Logomark, color palette, typography, brand guidelines, LinkedIn banners, business card, poster, website: everything built around a single sentence: "One table, one dinner, and bonds formed."

Miguel created a visual identity that truly represents my project! He delivered more than I expected. I'm happy to have worked with him! Pierre Gabriel, Founder @ Symposia
