Goal
Create a brand strategy that accurately portrays Startstak as a 'fearless leader' in the Startup space. With Startstak's core brand archetype being the outlaw, we knew we had to balance 'fearless leader' with 'trustworthy guide'.
Logo & Visual Identity
In our conversation with founder Elizabeth McCalley, we conceptualized StartStak as a metaphorical lighthouse—a steadfast presence in a vast sea of opportunities, guiding founders through the turbulent waters of entrepreneurship.
The sharp angles in StartStak’s logo subtly echo the beacon of a lighthouse, steering clear of overt symbolism while maintaining a strong visual identity.
These angular elements also reflect the brand’s fearless, outlaw spirit, embodying StartStak’s unwavering commitment to leading new companies toward brighter horizons.

Outcome
The team needed flexibility and the ability to create content in-house.
To meet this need, we transferred all brand visuals to StartStak’s Canva account, ensuring they had easy access while also providing high-quality assets for external use when required.
We delivered a complete branding package, including logos, shapes, assets, presentation slides, a strategy deck, colours, typography, brand usage guidelines, social media templates, and a pitch deck template.
With this comprehensive toolkit, the StartStak team is fully equipped to drive the rebirth of their brand.
"We can't focus on our work - We've been staring at our rebrand all week".
