C8 Investments launched in 2011 as part of a new generation of investments funds. We worked closely with the founders to create the name and positioning through a series of workshops.

From this, we created the branding and marketing collateral to provide a convincing proposition to London's financial sector.

The brand solution is C8 - the highest musical note - coupled with abstract sound bars that mimic financial markets' data and analytics.

The final flourish is the icon that creates a number 8 from two c's.

The 8 icon is made up of two C's
