(The story)

Brand Identity · Motion

The brief

Prism Labs came out of a university optics group with brilliant science and no visual language. They needed a brand ready for investors, hiring and their first product page.

The approach

The logo is a single beam split into three, and it moves: the motion system bends and separates light across every slide, page and video. Type is technical but warm, with generous spacing.

The result

The identity, pitch deck and website shipped in thirty days, in time for a Series A round that closed the same quarter.

(The result)
