Martin Accounting & Financial | Brand Identity
BRAND IDENTITY · LOGO DESIGN · BRAND DEVELOPMENT · CORPORATE DESIGN
The Challenge
Develop a professional visual identity for Martin Accounting Services, Inc., while exploring a potential refresh of the established Martin Financial Services brand.
The two related businesses required distinct visual approaches that reflected their individual services while maintaining a sense of familiarity and professionalism. For Martin Financial, the objective was to explore a more contemporary direction without losing the recognition associated with its existing identity.
The Approach
Created a new identity for Martin Accounting Services using traditional serif typography, a refined navy color palette, and a structured logo composition. The resulting design emphasized professionalism, credibility, and a timeless aesthetic appropriate for the accounting industry.
In parallel, explored several modernization concepts for Martin Financial Services, including updated monograms, typography, and variations on the company's established blue palette. Developed supporting visual applications to evaluate how the proposed identity could translate across stationery, signage, and specialty print materials.
The Martin Accounting Services identity was implemented, while the Martin Financial redesign remained in the concept-development stage.
