About
Tunnelo is a VPN service that gives users secure internet access through a one-tap connection and shows protection status in real time. The team asked we to create a distinctive identity that separates the product from generic tools.
( The brief )
Challenge
Problem
There isn't much space for new brands to stand out in the VPN industry. Tunnelo required a strong visual system that could unify the product, social media, and marketing materials while giving users a distinct and instantly recognizable identity.
Solution
Our team used a pixel-inspired font, neon-green accents, and a hexagonal logo to create the brand. Tunnelo maintains its own technical style across all platforms by consistently using the same visual cues in product displays and campaign graphics.

Moodboard
Using recognizable visual clichés as a starting point, the moodboard analyzed how cybersecurity could appear more contemporary. It was the combination of pixel visuals, dark tones, and bright green accents that made Tunnelo stand out.
Logo Design
We created a custom logo using the shape of a tunnel and a digital connection. Pixel-style typography adds character and gives Tunnelo a consistent look in product interfaces and branded materials.
Brand Guidelines
Our design team transformed the brand into useful, everyday instructions. To ensure that all of Tunnelo's product interfaces and marketing materials have the same consistent aesthetic, the document lays out strict guidelines for the logo and visual layouts.
Give your product a distinctive identity users recognize and remember
Printing
To ensure consistency across all physical channels, we modified the brand system for use in posters, outdoor ads, and merchandise. Every piece is easily readable thanks to its large headlines and simple layouts, and it makes a clear connection to Tunnelo in public spaces.
