Crafting the UNOBank Identity

Keeping the core message “a bank designed around you” in mind, the logo uses a simple bold form to illustrate the adaptable and customisable identity of the brand. 

Also keeping in tune with the newest mode of communication, emojis!

Fluid, Consistent, Enjoyable

Being a banking service that keeps its users in mind, the logo morphs into all the services UNO provides, keeping in mind the quirk element.

Keeping in tune with the energy and modernity of the brand identity,
the colours chosen were meant to be bright, dynamic and eye catching.
