GAVEL

LEGAL DOCUMENT AUTOMATION STARTUP
Gavel is a document automation and legal product-building platform designed for legal professionals, originally called documate. As their offering expanding beyond document automation, they changed their name to gavel. 

They reached out to me looking for an accompanying brand refresh that felt invigorating, captured the breadth of their new offerings, and differentiated them in a sea of uninspiring, repetitive B2B/SAAS branding.
DELIVERABLES 

Brand identity
Website






The new logo
features a bold, lowercase sans serif similar to the original logotype. We wanted existing users to feel like they were seeing a familiar brand and prospective customers to get a sense of modern accessibility they could trust.

We developed a new logomark we called The Stack, minimalist and reminiscent of a document but representing so much more — assembly, evolution, balance, and punctuation. It was designed to be deconstructed and used across UI touchpoints.



BRAND IDENTITY SYSTEM


NEW HUES, FAMILIAR ROOTS
We grandfathered in some of the old brand colors — an electric green and a warm gold — and introduced some new ones, including a hero ultraviolet to reference a shifting digital landscape without being yet another tech startup blue.

All together, it’s modern, a bit unexpected, but still accessible and clean as a whistle.
