The Story
Building trust in a cliché-heavy industry from scratch
In cybersecurity, trust is everything — and trust is communicated through every visual signal a brand sends. I worked with a Canadian cybersecurity and risk analysis startup from concept to launch, building a brand identity designed to feel authoritative without resorting to the tired clichés of the sector. The engagement is ongoing, with the visual system continuing to evolve as the company grows.
Creative Services
Brand built for high-trust contexts
The engagement covered positioning that avoided the dark-hoodie cliché, a clean and technical corporate identity, a documented visual system for in-house extension, and full brand guidelines as a single source of truth. Every layer was designed to scale cleanly from a Series A pitch deck through to a product UI without the brand ever needing to be rebuilt.
Brand Positioning
Defined a voice that felt expert without being alarmist. Avoided the dark-hoodie cliché entirely.
Corporate Identity
Designed a clean, technical identity for a high-trust sector. Built to scale across product, marketing, and investor materials.
Visual System
Built type, colour, and layout systems for ongoing use. Documented so the in-house team could extend it confidently.
Brand Guidelines
Produced full guidelines for internal and partner use. A single source of truth as the brand scales.
Key Results
A brand that punches above its stage
The brand gave the startup credibility well beyond its stage, helping in investor conversations and early enterprise sales cycles where founder credibility alone wasn’t enough to carry the room. The visual system has scaled cleanly across product UI, marketing, and pitch materials, and the engagement has continued as the company grows into new markets.
