Ego Branding

For Your Eyes Only!

We developed a distinctive brand identity embodying the essence of anonymity, privacy, and security. Strive for uniqueness by steering clear of clichéd symbols like locks, keys, and shields. Depart from the conventional imagery of dark, shadowy hacker figures, opting for a fresh and innovative approach that sets the brand apart.

The emphasis on secure and private communication has been a key aspect of the brand's positioning. The app targeted users who prioritize confidentiality and security in their digital communications.
