Client

GIG-A, the Estonian/Japanese fintech startup, is dedicated to revolutionizing banking services for foreign workers in Japan, prioritizing accessibility and simplicity.

Solution

A brand was developed encompassing both verbal and visual identity elements. The communication strategy is rooted in simplicity, accessibility, trust, and a strong emphasis on care and support. The central brand metaphor is the mountain—specifically inspired by Mount Fuji, symbolizing perseverance and the cultural mindset of “never giving up,” which resonates deeply within Japanese values.

The visual system—including graphics and color palette—was informed by user preferences gathered through testing and cultural research. Special consideration was given to the needs and sensitivities of migrant workers, ensuring the brand felt both welcoming and culturally respectful.
