US SaaS startup: logo that survives the app icon grid

A seed-stage product needed a mark that worked in dark-mode UI, slide decks, and 32×32 favicons before the next fundraise.

After: clean SaaS logo and app UI markAfter

Challenge

Early DIY marks fell apart in the App Store grid and looked different on every landing page mock.

Approach

Icon-first exploration, monochrome lockups for invoices, and a simple brand guide so engineers and marketers stayed aligned.

Results

  • App icon and nav mark from one geometry system
  • Deck-ready wordmark for investor updates
  • Faster handoff to the marketing site redesign

“We finally have a mark that looks intentional in the product — not just on a pitch slide.”
