The brand identity redesign aimed to create a fresh, modern look that resonates with the target audience and reflects the company's innovative approach.

First launched in 2020, FLIT Invest had not been updated and lacked brand guidelines to expand its assets to meet the high marketing demand. The challenge was differentiating the brand and maintaining its bold, dependable, and innovative qualities. Therefore, the redesign of FLIT Invest aimed to create a memorable, impactful brand identity that effectively communicated the brand's progressive values, appealed to young professionals and positioned it as a trusted and rising leader in digital impact investing within the competitive fintech landscape.
Brand Strategy

Values: Progressive, simplicity, trust, and customer-centricity.
Positioning:

FLIT Invest logo, wordmark and branding
Primary logo lock-up (Black & White)
To bring the brand to life, we built a new visual identity, including a new typeface, logo, color palette, and brand guidelines. This new system also served as the foundation for the updated website and mobile app. The final brand identity showcases a clean, modern logo representing innovation and forward movement. The vibrant color palette emphasizes the brand's focus on simplicity and trust.
Typeface
We selected Sora for titles and headlines and Roboto for body copy after exploring various typefaces to find a unique, aesthetic, crafted typeface that reflects the brand's combination of innovation and reliability in its typography, using a contemporary sans-serif font for headlines and a mobile-friendly sans-serif for body copy.
Color Palette
Our primary colors are vibrant and distinct. Combined with black and white creates a minimalistic style while still looking modern and bold.
