Happiness Capital is a global venture capital firm dedicated to co-creating a happier world by investing in and supporting like-minded startup enterprises. Their unique approach goes beyond traditional financial returns by measuring a “Happiness Return” – a positive impact that extends to society, individuals, and the environment. Happiness Capital believe that business success should align with broader societal good, and their mission is to guide and empower startups whose innovations create wealth, opportunities, and lasting positive change.
After a global pitch process, Happiness Capital selected Relish Creative as their agency of record to help refresh and elevate their brand identity. The goal was to create a brand that truly reflected their unique mission, vision, and values – an identity that communicates both the joy and the seriousness behind their purpose.
Relish Creative refreshed Happiness Capital’s brand, evolving the iconic smiley face emoticon into a more vibrant, bold version, representing the cheerful and positive spirit of the organisation. This was paired with typography with a smile and a dynamic, modern colour palette that mirrors the optimism and far-sightedness embedded in Happiness Capital’s approach to investment.
The new brand identity was implemented across all customer touchpoints – online and offline – ensuring a visually cohesive. This brand refresh strengthened Happiness Capital’s unique market positioning, reinforcing its role as a thought leader in the venture capital space and underscoring its commitment to investing in businesses that make the world a happier place.
Through this refresh, Happiness Capital’s brand now more clearly represents its confident, fun, and inspiring personality, while highlighting its unique focus on creating positive, far-reaching societal impact. Relish Creative’s work ensures that every interaction with the brand conveys the message that Happiness Capital is not only a leader in venture capital, but a champion of businesses that are changing the world for the better.
