About the Project

Morpho approached our agency to develop a brand identity that reflected their position as an innovative cloud services provider. Their previous branding was outdated and failed to communicate the scalability, security, and modernity of their offerings.

Our goal was to craft a cohesive and versatile brand system that could work seamlessly across digital platforms, marketing materials, and client presentations, while reinforcing Morpho’s mission of making cloud technology accessible and reliable for businesses of all sizes.


About the Client

Morpho is a Berlin-based Series A startup providing cloud infrastructure and management solutions for SMEs and enterprise clients. As they expanded their services internationally, they required a strong, recognizable brand that could communicate their technological expertise while remaining approachable to non-technical decision-makers.

1. Discovery & Research

The project began with stakeholder interviews, user research, and competitor benchmarking. We analyzed market trends in cloud computing and examined the branding strategies of industry leaders. This research informed our creative direction, ensuring that Morpho’s new identity would be both differentiated and aligned with industry expectations.

2. Concept Development

We explored multiple visual concepts to represent security, flexibility, and innovation. Early logo sketches and typography options focused on geometric forms and modern color palettes. Mood boards were created to define the brand’s tone, visual style, and overall aesthetic, which could scale across digital interfaces and print collateral.

3. Design Execution

Using Adobe Illustrator, Figma, and Sketch, we finalized the brand identity, including the logo, typography, and color palette. Iconography and UI elements were designed for the website and cloud management platform, ensuring a unified visual language across all touchpoints. Marketing templates and digital assets were also developed to maintain consistency.

4. Feedback & Refinement

Through iterative design reviews with Morpho’s team, adjustments were made to enhance readability, scalability, and accessibility. The final brand identity balanced technical credibility with approachable design, making it appealing to both IT professionals and business decision-makers.

5. Documentation & Handover

We delivered a comprehensive brand guideline manual detailing logo usage, color codes, typography hierarchy, and iconography standards. Additionally, all digital assets, marketing templates, and UI kits were provided to ensure consistent application by internal teams and partners.
