About Trust Trade

Money moves on trust.

Trust Trade is a financial services company that helps people invest. From opening a demat account to equity, SIPs, mutual funds, bonds, commodities and IPOs, it puts a long list of products under one name.

So the logo had two jobs: look solid enough to hand your savings to, and simple enough that a first-time investor isn't put off. Trust comes first in the name, and it comes first in the logo too.

The logo

Read it like a chart.

  1. 01 · Support line

    Everything stands on one line

    Every letter and all three bars rest on exactly the same baseline. Nothing floats, and that's why the mark feels steady.

  2. 02 · Uptrend

    Three bars, always rising

    The simplest chart there is: each bar taller than the last. Green to orange to amber, read in the same direction as the name.

  3. 03 · Breakout

    The frame is left open

    The frame has a gap on its left side, and the word Trade walks straight through it. The name and the chart become one piece.

  4. 04 · Same colour

    Trust and the top bar match

    The word Trust and the tallest bar share one amber. Your eye starts at trust and finishes at the top of the chart.
