Scotiabank needed a rebrand that unified their global identity and appealed to a more affluent clientele. We started by establishing consistent design layouts, drawing inspiration from their worldwide branch architecture. To elevate their overall tone, we crafted an elegant bespoke serif typeface, developed a sophisticated new approach to imagery, and refined their colour palette, thoughtfully referencing their heritage. Proving that a consistent global rebrand can revitalize even a 193-year-old institution.
