Branding & Identity
Fractional Talent
Fractional Talent connects businesses with on-demand professionals across technology, operations, and creative disciplines. The brief was to build a complete identity: confident enough to stand out in a crowded HR-tech space, flexible enough to travel from a LinkedIn profile to a partner presentation.
Identity
The F-mark displays fractions of a whole moving forward as one: the right specialist parts producing work no single generalist hire could. The wordmark uses Maison Neue Extended Demi, its compressed proportions echoing the mark's geometry. Three lockup variants cover the full range from digital profiles to printed collateral.
Colour
Deep Purple
Iris
Plum
Thistle
Steel
Mint
Leaf
Pistachio
Dune
Sand
Forest
Snow
Deep Purple and Iris form the primary palette, grounded at neutral contrast, electric when the brand needs energy. Mint and Leaf give campaign work a counterpoint that reads fresh against the purple without competing with it.
Typography
National 2 Compressed Bold handles campaign headlines, its extreme weight letting a single line fill a frame without losing legibility. Maison Neue Extended Demi anchors the wordmark, UI copy, and calls to action. Söhne Buch carries body copy: neutral, warm at reading sizes.
Website
Social
The LinkedIn cover applies the photo-in-type treatment to "TALENT ON TAP," faces breaking through the letterforms, turning a passive header into an active expression of what the platform does. The circular badge was purpose-built for avatar contexts where the horizontal wordmark would collapse.
Advertising
The stories bring all three brand colours into a single campaign, each colourway distinct but immediately readable as the same system.
