Novo Bank

Novo, a small business bank, helps small business owners do great things through products, advice, and support that help them achieve their dreams. Helping Novo achieve newfound success, our friend Mackey Saturday brought us in to design their new visual brand identity. Needing more distinctiveness within their current brand, Novo needed a rebrand that reflected their values while positioning them as the marketplace leader for small-business banking.

Visual Identity

A customer-centric symbol 


Novo’s symbol is a visual representation of the doors that Novo opens for it’s customers. The abstract n’s form proportionately fits the many small spaces that the brand must live in. Paired with a simple sans-serif, Novo’s new story-driven logo brings the brand a fresh and modern start to their brand’s system.

With Novo being a digital-first business, the scalability of their symbol crucial for the success of their brand’s digital ecosystem. With it’s bold and simple form, we crafted a symbol that scales from minuscule to massive.








Design Language

A visual system that’s made to work



From marketing platforms to internal products, Novo’s identity needed to work within a wide variety of different mediums found within their company’s marketing and product ecosystem. Novo’s visual identity system consists of a fresh yet trusting color palette, simple typography, and design language — highlighting the arcs found in their symbol — that allows their team to create with ease.
