The name

The personal perspective. Economio = Economy + mío. An international name with a deeply personal centre: your money belongs to you.

Our promise

Agency, autonomy and ownership. Useful clarity that helps people decide for themselves.

03 / 71

Economy + mío

The economy. Made personal.

Economio brings the analytical clarity of economics and technology into a space that belongs to the individual. The Spanish mío means “mine”: a small word that places ownership at the heart of the name.

The wider economy may be shaped by institutions. Your own economy is yours to understand, direct and build. Economio quiets the noise and helps you see what you can act on.

One personal perspective. Three visual states.

Primary mark

Phase. Our primary mark. A capital E distilled into two complete tracks and an open lower terminal. Sharp turns and deliberate space make a clear, recognisable anchor for Economio.

Default state

Use Phase for first introductions, app icons, profile avatars and every place where one enduring mark is needed.

04 / 71

Phase / Primary mark

Three states

A system with a point of view. From the wider flow of money to a strategy of your own. Three expressions of the same identity, each with a clear purpose.

05 / 71

Primary identity

PhaseThe strategic hero

An open E, with two complete tracks and a deliberate lower terminal. The moment financial awareness becomes personal strategy.

App icons, avatars, headers and first introductions.

Continuity

CurrentThe market baseline

The lower track completes the E. Three sharp, connected rails express the continuous movement of money and the landscape around us.

Brand storytelling, broad overviews and transitions into the wider picture.

Perspective

ParallaxThe individual angle

The tracks separate into six angled planes. A shift in perspective brings the individual’s own patterns, priorities and progress into focus.

Insight stories, personal milestones and focused analytical moments.

Primary signature

In website and app headers, the full-weight black Phase master lives inside a white square in both themes. Keep the same 18-unit stroke and 12-unit channel at small header sizes: this clear ground supports the complete mark. The 80% inner field and optical correction balance its placement. A 12 px gap gives the live Google Sans wordmark room beside it. Reserve the photographic square for app icons and expressive artwork.

06 / 71

Economio

Wordmark

The product keeps its original live Google Sans wordmark, weight and tracking. Fixed artwork is supplied as Google Sans 600 outlines. Keep the typography consistent within each application; never substitute another typeface.

07 / 71

Proportions

One stroke. One gap. One stroke rule and one gap rule per mark, measured perpendicular to the facing edges. The display master’s 6-unit module gives an 18-unit stroke and 12-unit clearance. Optical cuts adjust the shared stroke and gap for smaller placements.

Clear space

Keep at least one stroke (18 master units) clear around the visible mark. The 120-unit drawing field is an export frame, not a substitute for external clear space.

Responsive mark

The same mark. Optically sized. At small sizes, the tracks become lighter and the channels open. Resize the mark to compare its responsive geometry with the display master. Phase, Current and Parallax share the same optical rules.

Minimum size

Small, and still recognisable. Use static Phase for small or persistent placements. The interface cut uses a 12-unit stroke and 18-unit gaps at 32–48 px. The 16 px micro cut keeps a little extra weight for the pixel grid; display artwork retains the approved 18 / 12 master from 96 px. Intermediate sizes adapt smoothly. Keep motion for larger, intentional moments.

States in use

Give each state a purpose. Phase builds recognition. Current expresses continuity. Parallax introduces the individual point of view. Use the system to support a story, with Phase as the anchor.

Logo rules

Keep the family together.

13 / 71

Use

Use supplied masters at a shared scale, with their original angles, clearances and outlined wordmark. Start with Phase.

Avoid

Do not stretch the marks, round their corners, change individual bar weights or invent additional resting states.

The family

Current. Phase. Parallax. Current completes Phase’s third stroke. Parallax separates the rhythm into six planes. All three use the same 18-unit stroke and 12-unit clearance, at the same scale.

14 / 71

Completion

Phase, completed. Switch between Phase and Current to see the lower stroke complete. Their two upper paths and existing terminal stay in the same position.

The two upper outlines are identical. Completing Current changes only the third path; the existing right-hand terminal is retained inside it.

Phase
Current
Parallax

All three use one display scale. Parallax keeps its gentler slant, with the same normal thickness and clearance as the folded forms.

The completion view holds the terminal positions fixed. Standalone specimens are centred within the common field without resizing their bars.

Geometric master / 01Current

Phase's first two strokes stay exactly as they are. The short lower terminal becomes a full folded rail, completing the three-part rhythm.

Refinement

This is a literal completion of Phase. The first two outlines are shared, and the existing lower terminal is contained inside the new third stroke. Weight, gap, folds and right-hand terminals do not change.

Construction

The same 6-unit module drives both forms: an 18-unit stroke, 12-unit clearance, 30-unit normal pitch and 45° folds. Current uses all three complete rails from the family construction.

Placement and proportions

Current and Phase share canonical coordinates. The completion study keeps that registration fixed. Standalone specimens are centred within the common 120-unit field without changing scale.

Inspect at actual sizes

Geometric master / 02Phase

The approved two planes and short terminal, preserved exactly. Its construction is now the source of the family rather than an independent drawing.

Refinement

Phase's Geometry 04 outlines are unchanged. Current completes its lower stroke; Parallax adopts its 18-unit normal weight and 12-unit gaps. All three are shown at a common scale.

Construction

Two complete family rails and the right-hand terminal of the third. The stroke is 3 modules, the gap 2, the pitch 5, and the rise 2. Every diagonal boundary uses the same √2 offset.

Placement and proportions

The visible Phase outline remains 84 × 78. It occupies the same 120-unit field as the other forms. Its strokes are not enlarged to make its outer height match Current or Parallax.

Inspect at actual sizes

Geometric master / 03Parallax

Six slanted planes, now carrying exactly the same 18-unit stroke and 12-unit clearance as Phase and Current. The gentler 2:1 slant remains its distinguishing arrangement.

Refinement

Each bar is one module longer: 42 units rather than 36. The columns extend outward from the same centre seam. The family's 18-unit stroke, 12-unit gaps and common display scale are preserved.

Construction

Each bar spans 42 units, or 7 modules. At a 2:1 slope, the vertical stroke is 18√1.25 and the row pitch is 30√1.25. Both the centre seam and perpendicular inter-row gaps remain 12 units.

Placement and proportions

The visible outline is now 96 units wide, giving the six bars a broader balance. It stays centred in the common 120-unit field, at the same drawing scale as Current and Phase.

Inspect at actual sizes

Lockups

One scale. Three lockups. The symbols share a fixed drawing scale, so their bars remain equally thick beside the wordmark. Different outer heights are preserved.

One scale

All symbols use a scale of ⅔: every stroke is 12 u and every gap is 8 u in these lockups.

Spacing

16 u between symbol and wordmark. A common 80 u symbol field preserves the same bar scale across all forms.

Typography

Existing Google Sans 600, −0.046 em tracking. Kerning and letterforms preserved as outlines.

Sizes and spacing

One family, at every size. Actual 16, 24, 32 and 48 px optical exports. The enlarged raster reveals how the size-specific construction renders, with the same angles and normal pitch.

Colour usage

Ink is the brand colour: the wordmark, primary actions and the selected option. Neutral greys give the work space, with no blue or green tint.

Colour rules

Keep colour meaningful.

29 / 71

Use

Use ink for the one most important action, and let photography and data supply the colour.

Avoid

Do not introduce a brand hue, tint the greys or use danger colours to judge spending.

Google Sans

Open, round and easy to read at every size. One variable font carries every weight Economio uses.

30 / 71

Character set

Swedish and Danish letters, currencies and the punctuation of careful writing: curly quotes, en and em dashes and a true minus.

Type rules

Keep type calm.

36 / 71

Use

Write headlines as one thought in two tones, in sentence case and British spelling.

Avoid

Do not add a second typeface, set app controls in capitals or animate amounts with counters.

Living identity

One mark. Always becoming. Complete. Separate. Refocus. Play the continuous geometric transformation, choose a state, or scrub through the motion. Phase is the primary and resting form.

37 / 71

Economio / Living identity01 / 03
Phase / Primary identity
Reduced motion · static states
Scrub the transformation0.0 s

Choreography

A deliberate rhythm. The identity moves through three exact resting states. Intermediate forms connect them; they are never used as standalone logos.

38 / 71

StateRestChange
Phase3.0 s across the loop boundaryDraw the lower rail out of the terminal → Current, 1.0 s
Current1.2 sPull the rails taut, part them at the seam and turn the planes → Parallax, 1.5 s
Parallax1.2 sClose the seams, fold the rails and draw the lower rail home → Phase, 1.6 s

Each change takes the time its geometry needs, and the rails follow one another 120 ms apart. Shapes accelerate gently and land slowly; a rail parts with the product’s own motion curve. The loop has no blank frame, spin, colour change or scale pulse. The approved masters are exact at every resting state, and every frame between them is built from the same construction: the rails keep their 18-unit stroke as they straighten, part and turn.

Motion rules

Move with intention.

39 / 71

Use

Use a single cycle for introductions or milestones. Reserve the repeating loop for brand showcases. Keep static Phase in navigation, app icons and small placements. Respect reduced motion.

Avoid

Do not run the identity continuously beside charts or financial work, imply loading or transaction progress, or use a state to judge someone’s financial position.

Timing

Four durations cover every interface movement. Press Play to compare them.

Drift

Brand photographs wander slowly along a looping path. Their faintness keeps the movement calm, and no edge ever shows.

Duration

Each leg of the path takes 26 seconds.

41 / 71

Page changes

Pages crossfade while the top bar holds still. The address changes at once; a transition never holds the page back.

Feedback

Pressed buttons scale slightly, arrows nudge toward where they point and summary tiles lift. Try them.

Reduced motion

When a device asks for reduced motion, everything stops: photographs hold still, pages change at once and nothing animates.

Photography rules

Keep it faint.

51 / 71

Use

Keep photographs faint, fade them before text and choose large, soft shapes of light.

Avoid

Do not place photography behind numbers, tables or charts, or use pictures that tell a story of their own.

The idea

Economio helps people see what comes in, where it goes and what they have saved, so they can make their own decisions with useful information in front of them.

52 / 71

Understand the numbers. Decide what comes next.

Headline

The pretitle says what Economio is. The headline gives a reason to use it. The supporting copy says how.
