The Challenge

The financial services provider faced several challenges with their existing brand identity:

Outdated Visual Identity

Their logo, color scheme, and visual elements were created over 15 years ago and appeared dated.

Brand Perception Gap

Market research showed a significant gap between how they saw themselves and how customers perceived them.

Inconsistent Application

Brand elements were applied inconsistently across digital and physical touchpoints.

Competitive Pressure

New fintech competitors with modern branding were attracting their target demographic.
