Building something with the same shape?

Challenge.

The app was ready to grow, but the brand was not. The old logo looked rushed, the leaf tied it to one country, and nothing on screen told a first-time user their money was safe. In fintech, trust is decided in seconds, before anyone reads a word.

Maple PayExchange design tokens, icon set, brand pattern and photography direction

Solution.

The mark speaks the language of money in motion. An M rises like a signal, held inside two arrows that keep turning: one sends, one receives. Cuts in the ring add speed. No leaf, so the brand travels as far as the business does.

Maple Magenta and Maple Peach stay from the original brand, now built into full tint scales with tested contrast pairs. Bricolage Grotesque carries the headlines and Poppins carries everything else. Every colour, size and space is a named token, so the app, the feed and the paperwork look like one company.

What we delivered:

  • Logo suite: primary, stacked and compact lockups, mark, wordmark, reverse and one-colour versions
  • Mark construction: clear space and minimum sizes for screens and print
  • Colour system: Maple Magenta #ED0879, Maple Peach #FFA360 and Maple Amber #EB820C, with full tint scales and WCAG-tested contrast pairs
  • Typography: Bricolage Grotesque for headlines and Poppins for text, with an 11-step type scale
  • Design tokens: spacing, radius, elevation, motion and a social media grid
  • Icon set: 28 custom line icons for money movement, trust and everyday tasks
  • Brand pattern, rebuilt as a true repeat with no seams
  • Photography direction with Magenta and Amber grades
  • Social media templates and a rebuilt launch post
  • App icon, business cards, letterhead and the brand guidelines

In fintech, people decide whether to trust you before they read a word. That is the standard BeeTcore builds to. Explore our brand identity work
