TASK. The world of finance is rapidly changing: governments are preparing to launch national digital currencies, banks are seeking ways to integrate into the new infrastructure, and businesses need a clear framework for working with digital assets and cross-border payments. However, the market lacks expertise, unified standards are absent, and technological solutions are fragmented.

Our task was to:
– conduct analytical research of the market and audience (government agencies, commercial banks, large and small businesses);
– formulate a brand positioning that reflects the platform's role in global financial transformations;
– develop a brand platform—insight, promise, mission, values, Big Idea, and character;
– create a name and visual identity that convey the idea of a benchmark in the world of future finance.

ANALYTICS AND HYPOTHESES. We studied international approaches to digital currencies, national payment system models, the needs of large banks, and the pain points of small businesses. The analysis revealed three key patterns:

1) Governments need expertise and a technology partner to launch a national digital currency.
2) Banks need understanding and infrastructure to integrate into new financial processes.
3) Businesses need convenient and reliable solutions for digital payments and financial assets.

These findings formed the foundation for the brand platform.

BIG IDEA. Based on audience insight—"We need a partner who will help us choose the right technology solution in a rapidly changing world"—the Big Idea was formulated: FUTURE FINANCE LANDMARK—A Landmark in the World of Finance of the Future.

The positioning reflects the brand's role as a technological navigator, helping governments, banks, and businesses find the right solutions in the complex labyrinth of new digital finance.

NAMING. The name FinSummit combines two key layers of meaning: "fin" represents the field of financial technology and expertise, in which the brand acts as a navigator and partner. The word Summit emphasizes the idea of the pinnacle—a place where the best solutions, the most powerful specialists, and strategic decisions are made. Together, the name creates the image of a platform that elevates clients to a new level of financial opportunity and leads them to the pinnacle of the future economy.

VISUAL IDENTITY. The FinSummit graphic symbol is a star, combining three visual metaphors: navigation, orientation, and reaching the summit. The shape resembles a compass rose, emphasizing the brand's role as a navigator in a complex financial environment. It also serves as a guiding star against a rich dark blue background—a symbol of confidence, direction, and stability. Viewed as an abstract form, the symbol resembles a view from above of a snow-capped mountain peak, reinforcing the idea of the word Summit—achieving the highest point, expertise, and mastery.

This creates a coherent visual brand system: FinSummit guides, illuminates the path, and helps you reach your own pinnacle of financial decision-making.
