Lundgren+Lindqvist Creates Janus-Gaze Branding for Inflection Venture Fund
Lundgren+Lindqvist has designed a visual identity system for Inflection, a venture fund backing early engineering moonshots. The branding draws on the dual gaze of Janus, the Roman god of transitions, to capture venture capital's essence of learning from the past while anticipating future opportunities. The logomark features a rectangular form interrupted by elliptical cuts, revealing the letter I. The system uses Studio Pro, a contemporary sans-serif typeface rooted in Swiss modernism, with a primary palette of black, white, and transitional grey, accented by sharp green for renewal and growth. Two-part compositions and human figures facing left and right reinforce duality. The symbol deconstructs into a functional frame for a shared visual language, extending to a website where the frame becomes interactive components with split compositions and generous negative space. All elements align with mathematical rigor, and the typographic grid scales to any digital screen size.
