Optegra Financial

After a winter of web projects its time to unveil a new brand for this small financial reporting consultancy. Using a custom version of Didot to float two words together the logotype aims to show simplicity and balance. Negative space is cut into the last letter of the first word, and first letter of the second word to marry them together and speed the pronunciation. A contrasting slash is added to the negative space when the logotype is used in isolation.

Rendered in silver foil against monochrome the logotype is strong and simple and is complimented with the use of a strong green-blue or purple gradient that creates a very original and distinctive brand within its sector. More photos in my Flickr Artwork set.
