An identity with presence: a meeting point for enterprise and impact.Spatial application concept

A clear expression of a shared ambition.

Just Business invests in and works alongside ventures with social and environmental purpose. The original Phable work pairs an interlocking symbol with electric cyan, deep navy and orange: a distinctive identity that can hold both the human story and the business proposition.

From an introduction to a deeper conversation.

The commissioned website brings the venture story, people and philosophy into one recognisable system. The new interface studies explore how that system could guide someone from discovering an investment focus to introducing a business. These are design concepts, with no live financial data or submission service.

Brand clarity for purpose-led businesses.

For an investment business, the identity has to make the proposition understandable and credible across every conversation. This project connects the brand, website and communications through one distinctive visual language.

The original Phable commission covers the brand refresh, guidelines, marketing assets and website. Newly developed spatial, editorial, interface and motion applications are identified as concepts throughout.

About the project

What did Phable design for Just Business?

Phable delivered a brand report, refreshed identity and guidelines, marketing and social assets, and a complete website rebuild. The folio also explores new applications of that design system, clearly labelled as concepts.

What does an impact investment brand need to communicate?

It needs to explain the business proposition, its purpose and who it is for. A clear identity, well-structured website and consistent investor communications help a complex story become easier to understand.

Can Phable help with our brand and website?

Yes. Phable connects positioning, identity, website design and content for companies with complex stories. Tell us about your business.
