Origin8

We redefined Origin8, a Fintech SaaS platform, with a sleek, modern brand identity that strategically distinguished it from its parent company, CIVIC Financial Services. Originally designed to streamline private-money mortgage origination, Origin8 evolved from a core feature into a standalone product, requiring a distinct identity to maximize its market potential. Our team led the transformation by crafting a new logo, brand strategy, and a tech-forward visual identity, followed by comprehensive UX/UI design to enhance user experience and engagement.

Private Money Lending in Real Time

Origin8 emerged from CIVIC Financial as a powerful tool for private-money mortgage origination, but its association with the parent brand limited its market reach, particularly among other resellers of CIVIC’s loan products. To position Origin8 as an independent solution, we conducted in-depth market research to understand the competitive landscape and identify unique opportunities. This insight guided our strategy to separate Origin8 from CIVIC while preserving the high standards of customer experience synonymous with both brands. Our approach centered on creating a modern, high-tech brand identity that would resonate with private-money lenders across the industry. We developed a sleek visual system characterized by clean lines, modern typography, and a futuristic color palette, reflecting sophistication and reliability. This was accompanied by a brand-product alignment strategy, ensuring a seamless user experience that reinforced Origin8’s position as a best-in-class solution.

Fintech in Flourish

The result was a distinct and compelling brand identity that allowed Origin8 to stand independently in the market. Our strategic messaging and design choices positioned Origin8 as an innovative, user-friendly platform tailored for private-money lending, successfully differentiating it from competitors. This strategic transformation enabled Origin8 to reach new audiences and expand its influence beyond CIVIC’s ecosystem, driving higher conversions and market success. The Origin8 case study demonstrates the power of strategic branding and design in transforming market perception and driving business growth.
