Highwater

Highwater is a cinematic surf documentary produced for Image/MGM, capturing the intensity and beauty of the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing. With full production ownership — from direction to distribution — the film brought powerful storytelling and raw athleticism to screens across the world.
Designed for theatrical release, Highwater required a brand identity and media campaign that could resonate globally, reflecting both the scale of the waves and the emotion behind the ride.
Play Video

The impact was as powerful as the waves themselves.

From the energy of the ocean to the emotion behind each frame, Highwater captured a story that resonated on screens around the world — delivering more than a film, but a feeling.

Branding
As a pre-revenue startup, ONECommerce set out to become a unified commerce management platform that empowers brands to sell anywhere and ship everywhere — all from one streamlined ecosystem. The brand identity and message needed to be inspiring while also trustworthy.
Rationale: The 1 Commerce value proposition was to do all things commerce from a single app, including logistics (fulfillment, shipping, returns). The inspiration for the mark came with a double meaning - from one perspective, it looks like a hub and spoke, from another perspective it looks like a box. Both interpretations integrate the number value of 1 in a notification pattern which is intended to infer any number of counts in the e-commerce supply chain )orders, shipments, items in cart, etc.)

Target Audience

We identified and analyzed the core users of One Commerce to ensure the brand speaks directly to their needs, pain points, and aspirations. Understanding who we're designing for allowed us to craft a brand experience that feels both relevant and empowering.
Primary Segments:
  • Medium and Large-sized brand owners seeking operational control of their entire e-commerce supply chain.
  • Operations and fulfillment managers needing visibility, control, and centralization.
  • Brand owners, Entrepreneurs and founders who want to grow revenue with automation minus all the complexity.
Core Needs:
  • An intuitive, all-in-one platform
  • Transparent control over products, logistics, inventory, and orders
  • Simple onboarding and scalability — no developer required
  • Comprehensive transactional data access, visibility, and inisghts

Typography Strategy
We combined Indivisible BLK for its bold, trustworthy presence in headlines and logotypes, with Aktiv Grotesk for its modern clarity in body text and UI labels. Together, they create a typographic system that balances impact with readability — ideal for a product that aims to be both powerful and intuitive.

Color System
The color palette was designed to feel energetic and future-forward, while maintaining clarity and contrast across all digital surfaces. Magenta adds a sense of boldness and identity, Midnight brings depth and focus, and Charcoal grounds the visuals with a clean, neutral base. Together, they create a system that’s both striking and functional — perfect for a product-first tech brand.
Website Overview
The ONECommerce website serves as the first real-world application of the new brand system — combining bold design with a clear product narrative. It introduces the platform’s value, builds trust through consistent messaging, and drives users to get started with intuitive navigation and a sharp visual hierarchy.

Branding
As a growing telecom platform, Fiberify needed a brand identity that felt both modern and credible — something that could clearly communicate its promise of verified connectivity and real-time infrastructure monitoring. The design had to reflect innovation, while maintaining simplicity and trust.
Logo Development
To create a brand that truly resonates with the telecom industry, we began by defining what Fiberify stands for: speed, clarity, and trust. The name itself — a fusion of “fiber” and “verify” — guided the entire visual identity.

The checkmark in the logo communicates verification, accuracy, and service reliability, while its angular structure evokes fiber networks and infrastructure. We explored multiple visual directions, ultimately landing on a mark that feels both engineered and approachable — reflecting Fiberify’s role as a modern, intelligent platform for telecom service providers.
Visual Identity

Visual Language: Type & Color

The visual identity for Fiberify was crafted to reflect the platform’s intelligent, tech-forward positioning. We selected a bold custom typeface that projects precision and modernity, paired with a vibrant palette anchored in orange and green — representing energy, innovation, and trust.

The combination of sharp lines and clean geometry communicates both clarity and authority, while the bright, optimistic tones signal reliability and ease of use — helping the brand stand out in the telecom space.
Typography Strategy
We selected a futuristic custom typeface to convey Fiberify’s focus on innovation and technology, particularly for logotypes and hero messaging. For supporting text, we used Helvetica Neue — a clean, modern sans-serif that ensures legibility across interfaces. This pairing delivers a balanced system that feels both advanced and accessible — supporting the brand’s promise of smart, scalable service.

Color System
The Fiberify palette uses vibrant orange to convey urgency, energy, and innovation — core traits of a responsive telecom brand. A bold green checkmark reinforces the idea of reliability and verified performance, while neutral grays support a clean, modern aesthetic. This combination ensures high contrast, strong readability, and a confident, high-tech feel across all brand touchpoints.
Messaging
To ensure a consistent and confident brand voice, we crafted messaging that communicates Fiberify’s promise:
“Verified Fiber Field Intelligence.”
The tone is direct, technical, and trustworthy — designed to resonate with telecom professionals who value performance, reliability, and speed. Key phrases are reused across touchpoints to reinforce brand positioning and support quick recognition.
Product Marketing Collateral
To bring the Fiberify brand to life across marketing touchpoints, we developed a cohesive set of product marketing assets. Each item reflects the brand’s sharp, modern visual identity while reinforcing key messaging pillars.
Sales Enablement Materials
Polished pitch decks, datasheets, and overview pages for clear, effective enterprise communication.
Platform Feature Guides
Visual collateral explaining platform modules and functionality for use across web, email, and presentations.
Website

Product One-Pagers

Awarded Trademark
Following the successful development and launch of the brand, Fiberify™ was officially recognized and awarded a registered trademark.

This milestone not only validated the uniqueness and strength of the brand identity, but also protected the logo, name, and messaging across all markets. Securing the trademark solidified Fiberify’s place as a credible and differentiated player in the telecom infrastructure space — and ensured long-term consistency across global touchpoints.
