Venture Meets Vision: Elevating Oat Capital with a Strategic Identity
When the former leadership team of HSBC Ventures branched out to start their own fund Oat Capital, they needed a bold visual identity that would convey trust, innovation and professionalism while driving investor confidence. Operating across the US and UK, Oat are focused on early-stage companies transforming the financial sector.
Cornerstore Studio was tasked with crafting their brand identity, creating a 'shop window' to showcase their expertise and investment approach. We delivered a cohesive suite of assets that positioned Oat Capital to make a powerful first impression in the competitive venture capital space.
The Challenge
As a new player in the highly competitive venture capital market, Oat Capital needed a brand identity that would:
-
Reflect the team’s expertise, credibility and global reach.
-
Differentiate the firm in a crowded market while appealing to sophisticated investors.
-
Provide a versatile design system to support their communications across multiple platforms, from investor presentations to digital campaigns.
Our Strategic Approach
To meet these objectives, we collaborated closely with Oat Capital’s leadership to distill their mission, values and vision into a distinctive visual identity. The strategy focused on building a brand system that balanced timeless professionalism with a forward-looking, innovative edge.
Key Deliverables

Logo Design: Created a minimalist yet memorable logo projecting a sentiment of growth and stability.

Typography and Colour Palette: Developed a clean, modern type system and a sophisticated colour palette that evokes trust and confidence, while remaining versatile across digital and print media.
