DESIGN NAME: Fincap Law LLP
PRIMARY FUNCTION: Brand Identity Design
INSPIRATION: I had always believed that the best design should be simple and minimal; yet comprise of proclivity towards aesthetic conformation in aspects of appearance and connotation. These ethics stem from my passion of wanting to create beautiful design that is stylish and modernistic. In anticipation of the opportunities held within this project, compels me to mould something new, something that is creative, yet innovative, where initially, a strong brand design was not on the agenda. In this project, I can certainly challenge myself by demonstrating the extent of powerful design and how much can be interpreted via visual elements alone.
UNIQUE PROPERTIES / PROJECT DESCRIPTION: The fundamental brand design of Fincap law had been carefully segregated into three main elements. These are the plus symbol, square frames and lattice nodes. Each element has its own implicit meaning in association with the firm’s core values. These are respectively: Continuous Improvement, Legal Protection, and lastly Networking. The three core values were combined and infused into the design to reveal the distinguishing identity of Fincap Law.
OPERATION / FLOW / INTERACTION: The design components of Fincap law’s signature logo were derived from elementary, yet salient geometric elements such as edges and node-points. As discussed previously, Fincap law’s values had been reflected in its brand layout as three succinct design components in the form of a plus, a frame and nodes. This had been suffused across as a replicated pattern creating a lattice, which results in a unique connotated brand-image, emphasizing professionalism and specialism.
PROJECT DURATION AND LOCATION: This project started in may 2018 based in London and finished in Jun 2018 for two months. It has been modified for "A design award" until the end of September this year.
FITS BEST INTO CATEGORY: Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design

PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: The manually drafted prototypes were essentially based on fundamental geometric elements and its design concept had been technically deployed in several adobe software (Photoshop, Illustrator, Aftereffect, Premiere). Through initial experimentation we had found many differing types of geometrically-coherent combinations, simply by using vectors and intersection points. The latter stages consisted of filtering through a plethora of designs to reach a consensus on the ideal solution.
SPECIFICATIONS / TECHNICAL PROPERTIES: The image dimensions are set out to be 150*150 pixels, with a minimum-resolution of 72 DPI. I have 2 designs for the logo, one consisting of clear-white background, and the other in black. The image may also be depicted in monochromatic format if need be. The logo had been centered on canvas, not positioned to corners or edges.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: I initially contemplated on ways to effectively portray Fincap’s unique brand, whilst simultaneously reflecting on its principles. In consideration of the scope, a law firm generally requires a conforming and relevant representation, most typically in a concise and corporate manner, yet provides a stable impression. All subsequent research was based on these underlying notions. The later integration of numerous geometric vectors formulated six framed-boxes with interlaced typeface disposition.
CHALLENGE: This was identifying applicable models with definitive qualities pertaining to the final representation, including analysis and evaluation of devised prototypes, which had later been filtered. Also, formulation of ideograms that would appeal to audiences whilst encapsulating relevant meaning. My novel designs had to be internally propagated, to marketing and interior designs teams, which later led to the approval for use as the official company logo.
