Our Ideas & Additional Information
Make mortgages sexy.

We are looking for a Sexy new Logo/Brand identity for a start-up Mortgage Website.

We are ready to bring ‘cool’ to the ‘very uncool’ world of mortgage brokering. This brand will be the fun alternative to the conventional image of mortgage brokers, banks, and typical financial institutional-isms.

We are entirely web-based, and so this brand must be instantly memorable. We plan to leverage social media heavily. Simplicity, sexiness, and yet a genuine ‘cool-factor’ are critical.

Think of the several of the most reknowned ‘cool’ brands: Virgin, Apple, and Google. Each of these brands represents a company that has turned its respective industry upside-down: Virgin = Transportation and Mobile Telecom, Apple = the anti-PC, computers, Google = Information Technology. Ask yourself what it would feel like if a company like Google or Virgin were to enter the financial service industries. Forget their colours and typography, but retain their business culture and accessibility.

While our angle is to be cool and sexy, it is imperative that we maintain an identity that doesn’t compromise clients’ ability to trust us with their mortgages. We aren’t trying to be outrageous
or offensive. Our use of the term “sexy” is more about lightheartedness and fun that outright sexuality.

Inspire people to trust their mortgages to a company that is cool, fun, even sexy.

NOTE: the word sexy in sexymortgages.com is the real brand. We hope to be able to substitute the words after it as we expand our services: i.e. sexyfinancial.com, sexyinsurance.com etc.

NOTE: The word "Sexy" could also be written as SXY. We are open to either word as the prefix of the brand.

Let's aim for a bit more colour and energy in the designs!

Hey all - quick reminder and update to the brief:

Remember that the brand "sexy" should be able to stand on its own. Think the Apple logo, or the "Virgin" name - both are brand elements that are able to stand individually, could appear as a sticker, and can be attached to sub-brands. "Sexy" needs to be that brand element for us. Mortgages are secondary to this brand as they are simply a product that we offer.

Perhaps one helpful question to ask yourself about your design is: "could I effectively put the word 'sexy' or 'sxy' on a sticker by itself?"

A suggestion was made that a Rhino could be included in the design.. if you have an idea of how this could work - let's see! (This is not required - but with the right design, it might even be able serve as an emblem for the brand!)

over to you!

One quick tip to help emphasize the 'sexy' or 'sxy' brand as the core of the idea is to AVOID the use of houses in designs! This could've been made clearer on my part from the start - but going forward, let's get beyond the houses. We hope to offer a full suite of financial services under the 'sexy' or 'sxy' brand. Mortgages are simply our initial product and site.

Cheers!
