Startup identity:
Find your style,
create emotions
Alice Zagury
I show you faces, names, images and colors…
You feel emotions related to clear values,
or not.
« THE GOAL IS NOT TO MAKE BUSINESS
WITH PEOPLE WHO NEED WHAT YOU SELL,
BUT TO MAKE BUSINESS WITH PEOPLE
WHO BELIEVE IN WHAT YOU BELIEVE.
PEOPLE DON’T BUY WHAT YOU’RE DOING
BUT WHY YOU’RE DOING IT.»
SIMON SINEK

digital: more people can access to
information and clients.
● Anyone can become a great
entrepreneur.
● Internet allows singularities to emerge
but the context can still be toxic for
them.
● Ambition can be taught.
● Big changes always start with a small
group of committed people.
● It’s time to leverage the dark matter.
● The “Pay-it-forward” mindset can
create a virtuous ecosystem.
● Alignment of the interests of all the
stakeholders is key.

they are pretty smart and cool

openly
● Financial education should address
everyone

WE BELIEVE
● Textile personalization is a PAIN.
● You wear what you believe in,
what you work for, what you
defend.
● Happy founders make happy
employees and happy clients.
This community is a crew, they
are proud to claim their choices
and share that feeling of
belonging.
● Buying a brand is boring,
promoting a culture is thrilling.
● I want to represent proudly a way
of life, not to wear a useless logo.
VALUES
● FEELING OF BELONGING, CREW

WE BELIEVE
● Fruits & vegetables lost their quality:
no flavor, full of pesticides. They are
selected to be indestructible not to
be eaten.
● It is possible to grow exceptional
fruits and vegetables in a city, we’ve
demonstrated it. What we want prove
now that it’s possible to do it
profitably and at scale.
● By 2030, 30% of the fruits & veg
will be grown locally.
● Anyone should be able to eat good
fruits & veg, grown next door.
● Technology is a mean that can help
serving better our basic human
needs.
VALUES

ONE PERSON IS LEADING THE VISUAL IDENTITY.
DECIDE & TRUST ;)
A VISUAL IDENTITY ISN’T THE RESULT
OF A DEMOCRATIC VOTE!
WHAT IS
PERFECT

DEAD.
AUTHENTICITY
TACKLES THE
DEJA-VU.
THE VALUES REMAIN THE SAME
THE VISUAL IDENTITY EVOLVES
WHAT IS MEANINGFUL BECOMES BEAUTIFUL. SHARE A STORY.
You admire a character for trying
more than for their successes.
A “Good” visual identity is NOT
Beauty
& aesthetic
Following trends
& popularity
Looking serious
or professionalX X X
A “Good” visual identity is
MEANINGFUL
With your own believes
UNIQUE
It’s surprising
PERSONAL
Do it yourself!
