2023

A bold visual identity to deliver faster, better, smarter products.

This vision was translated into a new visual identity through a transformative design process. Just as our aim was to make financial tasks easy, the design language sought to embody simplicity and efficiency. The reimagined logo maintained elements that were both recognisable and modern, incorporating them into a refreshed and aligned brandmark.

The outcome was a holistic visual identity, complete with new logo systems, typography, color palettes, grid systems, motion system, 3D illustrations, and brand guidelines, all carefully crafted to embody the brand's mission of simplifying money management for all. This new visual identity resonates with Revolut's vision of making money matters effortless, accessible, and user-friendly for people everywhere.
