Legacy meets success with River Black.

A new name and a new feel for a Manchester-based Investment firm.


What we did.
Brand Identity | Brand Strategy | Naming
​​



The situation.

Formerly known as Valpen Capital, our brief had two main focus. We had to discover an all-new name that encompasses a strong connection to the financial services industry. Secondly we had to create a perception of establishment and trust.




Our solution.

The name “river” is a metaphor for the ongoing flow of money and wealth, while “black” reflects a positive gain in the stock market.




The visual identity is a simple logo formation using a disconnected serif typeface. The “v” in River and the “a” in black sit on the same axis to create a mirrored image that we have adapted to become a logo symbol.





"Stand Out thinks about every detail of your business, and then crafts stunning visuals that make you proud of your company.​​​​​​​"
