First capital

Financial Branding Project 2019

First Capital were launching into the stock market industry and they needed a new logo to represent their presence. I was tasked to generate a logo that captured 2 sides of the stock market, one being a bear and the other being a bull.

These symbols are synonymous with the stock market, and it was crucial to have them within the design according to the client. I created one sleek symbol that did just that, but which also had 3 rising bars to express the candle sticks found within stock market charts.

I chose sans serif typefaces for the logotype on this design, as the company was a new and modern presence on the stock market scene. I felt that a serif solution may come across as too dated for this project, and so a modern yet sophisticated sans serif choice made sense.
