New logo
Ander Group played a key role in shaping Foldcast's visual identity, starting with the design of its logo. The creative journey began with the parallelepiped—a classic symbol of traditional construction formwork—serving as the foundation for the design.
Building on this foundation, a stylized "F" was crafted, symbolizing the initial of Foldcast while visually echoing the innovative formwork created by the company. This thoughtful approach led to a distinctive logo that effectively conveys the brand's identity and its forward-thinking vision.
Full visual identity
In addition to the logo, Ander Group developed a full visual identity for Foldcast, thoughtfully selecting fonts and a color palette.
These elements, combined with the graphic symbol, resulted in a cohesive and distinctive identity that effectively reflects the brand’s core values.
The font selection was driven by the need for both readability and a modern aesthetic, while the color palette was crafted to convey professionalism and balance.
All information in one place
To complement the project, Ander Group created a dedicated landing page for Foldcast on HubSpot. This page serves as a key gateway for exploring the project, presenting all essential information in a clear and concise manner.
Designed for a seamless and intuitive user experience, the landing page enhances the content with a layout that aligns perfectly with the brand's visual identity.
The goal was to provide an effective platform to showcase Foldcast's innovation and mission, driving user engagement and strengthening its digital presence.
Conclusions
In summary, Ander Group guided Foldcast in building its visual identity, from logo development to selecting fonts and colors, and creating a HubSpot landing page that captures the essence of the project.
This process enabled Foldcast to establish a strong, cohesive image that reflects its values of innovation and sustainability.
With its expertise, Ander Group is the ideal partner for startups aiming to turn their ideas into solid brands, providing strategic and creative support—from brand identity to digital presence—every step of the way.
