Featured Design Contest: Finagy – Financial Services Logo

The Finagy Logo Design Contest was held on Hatchwise, a website that connects companies seeking creative services with creatives from all over the world. Finagy was looking for a distinctive logo that would capture its spirit of innovation, reliability, and professionalism in relaying its financial services.

Let’s examine the designs that were submitted in more detail and discover the inventiveness, diversity, and originality that this competition produced.

About Finagy

Finagy is a leading provider of electronic financial services and a division of TOSD Corporation. Their emphasis on effectiveness and simplicity is a reflection of Finagy’s elegant design aesthetic.

Individuals, companies, and organizations searching for simple and safe electronic fund transfer options make up their target market.

Design brief: Simple, uncluttered, and iconic

The requirements for the logo were very clear: it needed to be simple, uncluttered, and not overly intricate. The designers’ approach was influenced by Finagy’s minimalist philosophy. Funky fonts were strictly prohibited because they didn’t fit with the company’s sophisticated, minimalist aesthetic.

Color Scheme: Black and Yellow Radiance

The contest was brightened by the black-and-yellow color scheme. The black color indicates refinement and authority while yellow expresses positivity and creativity. This dynamic combination realized Finagy’s goal.

Number of Designs Submitted
