The bold branding was critical in distinguishing SynFutures from their competitors, symbolizing their disruptive status in the world of decentralized exchanges. We wanted to represent their mission to democratize access to global assets, and through careful design and color choices, we achieved a brand identity that stands out and truly embodies the spirit of innovation that defines SynFutures.
Approach
Our adventure started with a deep dive into the heart of SynFutures. We explored their unique proposition, mission, and the audiences they aimed to reach. This immersive process allowed us to mirror their ambitious spirit and trailblazing approach in the brand identity.
Work
Market trends and dynamics are crucial touchstones in our design process. So, we embarked on a meticulous market research mission, delving into the pulse of the blockchain derivatives sector. This gave us invaluable insights and the inspiration needed to create a brand identity that would resonate within the industry.
Keeping an eye on the competition, we analysed their logos and branding, evaluating their strengths and spotting opportunities for SynFutures to shine. This competitive analysis was vital in positioning SynFutures as a disruptor rather than just another player in the space.
As we navigated through symbols, color schemes, and typography, we generated a torrent of ideas that could potentially embody SynFutures. But we didn't stop there. We traversed the realm of colors, picking a palette that would stir the right emotions, aligning with SynFutures' audacious mission.
Once we had a cache of powerful and effective concepts, we began crafting the brand identity. Each design was a unique interpretation of SynFutures' ground-breaking approach, waiting to tell its story.
However, seeing is believing. We placed our symbols onto mock-up websites and business cards, enabling us to gauge their real-world impact. This exercise breathed life into our concepts, bringing us one step closer to the final design.
Our client's input is the compass guiding our creative journey. We presented the designs to SynFutures, inviting their feedback, which played a crucial role in refining the designs.
Through this iterative process, we zeroed in on the final brand identity, a testament to SynFutures as a trailblazer in financial markets. This design was not merely a logo; it was a badge of honor for a disruptive force.
Result
The result of this collaborative project was a compelling and striking brand identity that succinctly communicated SynFutures' disruptive role in the blockchain derivatives industry. In contrast to their competitors, SynFutures' identity now stands as a bold testament to their revolutionary approach, reshaping the future of financial markets through blockchain technology.
This fresh, vibrant branding confidently trumpets SynFutures' bold vision of reshaping the financial landscape through their trailblazing platform.
Given their revolutionary approach in the blockchain space, it was essential for us to capture that spirit of innovation and disruption in the brand identity. We selected symbols that could translate seamlessly across different platforms - from websites to marketing collateral, ensuring they stood out among competitors. The final identity confidently illustrates SynFutures as a game-changer, poised to redefine the future of financial markets.
