Anza Invest Group

Private equity based in Angola with global operations.

Given the group's global presence, the brand concept was created seeking to attribute it a universal and timeless aspect, with a logo that could be visually friendly to various writing systems, such as Latin, Cyrillic, Hanzi and Hebrew.

The choice to create a dynamic logo, using the visual reading of typography beyond writing, allowed us to explore this cultural plurality to the fullest, allowing many variations of the logo, in several formats, totally connected with the brand purpose.

Rafael Maia is a multidisciplinary designer actually based in Guimarães, Portugal. For the last 15 years, he has been specializing in brand identities, product & packaging design.
