A future-focused digital banking platform serving the Americas. We partnered with Mercantile Bank to lead a complete rebrand and product design initiative—building trust, streamlining complexity, and creating a seamless user experience across brand, web, and mobile.

Logo & Symbol

We created a custom logomark that reflects Mercantile’s global connectivity, heritage, and modern direction. The symbol merges traditional elegance with digital clarity, building a brand presence that feels both established and forward-thinking.

F1 Academy

As part of a broader effort to modernize the brand and expand its international footprint, Mercantile launched the FI Academy, an initiative focused on digital financial literacy across underserved markets in the Americas.

To mark the launch, Mercantile became the first U.S.-based financial institution to enter the F4 racing circuit with a branded team—a move designed to signal its global ambitions and align the brand with speed, precision, and performance.

We developed a complete design system for the livery and supporting campaign assets, extending the visual identity into a new physical context. The result was a brand moment that stood out—not just for its originality, but for what it represented: Mercantile’s transition from traditional private bank to next-generation financial platform.

We redesigned Mercantile’s website to be responsive, secure, and easier to navigate across user types. The new site architecture prioritizes speed and clarity, with interactive tools, custom iconography, and multi-language support designed to serve a diverse, global customer base.
