The Challenge

Startup Sonar is a business intelligence platform that analyses real user needs to uncover business opportunities. It needed a visual identity that communicated three core values: the ability to detect hidden signals in market noise, a data-driven approach, and a commitment to technological innovation.

The challenge: creating a brand that spoke to both the startup world (dynamic, bold) and the enterprise world (reliable, structured), while remaining recognisable and memorable in a crowded SaaS landscape.

The Solution

→ Logo Design: A sonar icon composed of concentric circles with orbital dots — a direct reference to radar detecting signals in noise. The symbol communicates scanning, discovery and precision. The wordmark uses a rounded geometric font (Inter) to balance technology and accessibility.

→ Colour Palette: A gradient-based colour system — from deep violet (#625DFD) to vibrant magenta (#FF4FFD), through lavender (#F7F0FF) and black (#202020). The gradient represents the continuous flow of signals and insights, while the core colours balance visibility and usability.

→ Typography: Inter in five weights (Light, Regular, Medium, Semi Bold, Bold) — a versatile typeface ensuring readability on screen and in print, with a tech-forward yet human character.

→ Brand Guidelines: A comprehensive 15-page manual covering logo usage rules, safe zones, colour variants, incorrect usage, colour palette, typography and mockup applications (mobile app, stationery, business cards).

→ Applications: Identity applied across the platform UI, mobile app mockup, business cards and corporate stationery — all consistent with the gradient system and defined visual language.
