Ready for Pitches

n8 Capital quickly needed an official face for pitch decks, investor meetings, and direct network communication.

Logo for Investor Meetings

Official Establishment

Without a logo, a young startup can quickly appear unfinished or inofficial. All the more important it was to create a visual symbol that establishes the investment firm as modern and reputable.

FinTech Logo Strategy

The central tension of the logo strategy lay between the two worlds of corporate positioning: finance and technology.

The conceptual core therefore rested on a simple idea: to create a symbol that suggests technological scalability while building timeless trust through its understated nature.

The typography used the same conceptual briding idea. Firstly, the typeface for the title takes a more technical direction: distinctive, angular, and modern, yet without being overly futuristic. Its angular contours contrast with the round emblem.

Secondly, a more conservative serif typeface was recommended as a counterpoint for longer texts. This ensures a professional appearance within the financial context, while the wordmark and titles demonstrate a distinctively technical character.
