The Challenge

The Challenge

Octanova, a modern financial advisory and wealth management company based in Portugal, was evolving fast, but its identity hadn’t caught up. Offering a portfolio of high-growth alternative investments and innovative financial solutions, it needed a rebrand that would reflect its forward-thinking vision while preserving the trust essential in the finance space.

Most financial brands lean on legacy. Octanova had something more – a balance of trust and innovation. The opportunity was to shape a brand that spoke to both seasoned investors and ambitious entrepreneurs.

Our Approach

We began by distilling the essence of the brand into its name: ‘Octa’ for structure and balance, ‘Nova’ for new beginnings. Visually, we translated that idea into a clean, modern logo built around interlocking circles, symbolizing continuity, collaboration, and infinite potential. Radiating lines introduced a sense of motion and momentum, capturing Octanova’s dynamic nature.

From there, we built a cohesive brand identity across digital platforms, with a visual and verbal system that felt premium, professional, and purpose-driven. The tone was confident but accessible, designed to speak to a new generation of investors without alienating legacy partners.

The Impact

A rebrand that merged trust with transformation.

Octanova’s new identity didn’t just change how the brand looked, it reshaped how it was perceived. It now stood as a modern, confident partner for entrepreneurs and innovators, clearly signaling its evolution. The brand became sharper, more aligned, and more capable of leading conversations in a space where credibility and momentum matter most.
