Nobody knows who Ope is. But somehow that mystery became part of the brand.

Breaking down one of Nigeria's best branded fintechs and what they're getting right.

Images are powerful sources of inspiration whenever I am working on a logo/branding project.

Here's how this works.

After having a conversation with a client, I search for images related to their industry and the brand values of my clients, and I use those images as a reference to build upon the logo.

So far, this has helped me create logos that are instantly recognisable, relatable, and stand the test of time.

Here are some of my favourite logos directly inspired by images.

Have an amazing weekend ❤️

Health tech but with a vibrant and empathetic touch.

The Vylux project is one I'm proud of because it pushed me and helped me grow as a designer.

Bringing back this identity redesign I worked on 2 months ago ✨️

The work covers logo redesign, color system, typography, brand patterns, and visual motifs, built to feel bold, energetic, cultural, and deeply human.

Every design decision was rooted in inclusion and the African culture rather than the cold charity aesthetic that often flattens the dignity of the people these organisations serve.

The visual identity system uses a vibrant color palette, a rainbow + open book for the logo, expressive organic shapes (inspired by Adinkra symbols), and a flexible pattern system that scales from billboard to water bottle.

The new system gives the brand the range to show up powerfully across every touchpoint.

Full case study on my Behance. Link in my bio. 🙂

There's a certain age at which boys become more conscious of their appearance.

Some start at 14, others at 16, mine started at 12.

We usually call that process evolution, growth or a glow-up. Brands go through the same thing.

Today marks the refresh of HOPE for African Children identity. A full visual redesign for a nonprofit putting girls and children living with disabilities at the center of education and opportunity in Africa.

The work spans logo redesign, color system, typography, brand patterns, and visual motifs that were built to feel bold, joyful, and deeply human.

Every decision was rooted in energy, inclusion and the African culture. A deliberate push away from the generic charity aesthetic that can flatten the dignity of the people these organizations serve.

The result is a vibrant palette, expressive visual motifs, and a flexible pattern system that scales from billboard to water bottle. The new system gives the brand the range to show up powerfully across every touchpoint.

To be more inclusive. To show up bigger. To match the mission.

I shared an in-depth breakdown and process on Behance. Link in my bio 😊
