Emergence

Instilling confidence to shift mindsets

Based in London and Boston, this start-up brought together top tech experts to form a consultancy helping major businesses navigate rapid change. To attract investors, talent, and clients, they needed a brand that conveyed credibility, leadership, and clear value.

Immediate market impact: three major clients within six months of launch – and from 4 founders to a 15-strong team in under a year.
Major players like Advent International, UiPath, Williams Lea, Reach and Scottish Equity Partners trusted Emergence.

Emergence

Inspiring profound transformation

The brand had to stand out in a crowded market – competing with established consultancy giants. It needed to project authority and credibility to inspire confidence that it operated at the leading edge. We named it Emergence, with a clear business aim: to help clients navigate the Fourth Industrial Revolution and emerge stronger, more resilient, and future ready. The name also carries a deeper nuance, drawn from the pioneering field of science that studies how complex interactions give rise to new behaviours, forms, and characteristics. The entire look meets the target audience’ need for inspiring but calm and reassuring leadership.

A future-ready identity

Designed to evolve

Transformation was at the heart of the visual identity – but approached with imagination, avoiding the clichés that often evoke fear around advanced technology. The identity needed to feel premium, yet infused with energy and optimism – striking the right balance between authority and freshness. Designed to be scalable and adaptable, the brand can evolve over time. Its bold, ever-shifting graphic language features shapes that contort, overlap, and transition between states. Colour is used purposefully, illuminating pathways and insights to reflect Emergence’s role in guiding meaningful transformation.

A dynamic mark

Transformation as a visual shorthand

The logomark captures the idea of transformation – moving confidently from one state to another. Three progressive arrows form a dynamic ‘E’, symbolising change and forward momentum under assured leadership, all brought to life in a bold, vibrant magenta.
