Zell

A geometric identity and responsive website for an entrepreneurship program

EducationWebsitesBrandings & Logo2026
Zell

Zell is an entrepreneurship program at Reichman University. These designs bring its visual identity and website together through an arrow-based mark, a dark-and-orange palette, and layouts for the program and its community.

Logo foundations

Zell is an entrepreneurship program at Reichman University. The supplied brand book presents an arrow-based Z mark, vertical and horizontal lockups, and guidance for clear space, minimum size and incorrect use.

Colour and contrast

Near-black and orange lead the palette, balanced by light neutrals. The guidelines also introduce gradients for the graphic elements.

Typography and graphic language

Sohne Breit and Cosmica are paired with a square grid, gradient shapes, dimensional lettering and line-based icons. The remaining boards show this visual language across the identity system.

A home for the program

The homepage design introduces Zell through oversized typography and the arrow motif. It then moves through an impact overview, program pathways, portfolio cards and editorial content.

Our approach

Build around the mark

Arrow forms, square grids and gradient lettering connect the logo guidelines with the website's graphic language.

Give content a clear hierarchy

Large headings introduce each page, while repeated cards, lists and separators organise the program, people and editorial content.

Carry the system across sizes

Desktop and mobile versions retain the same visual identity while adapting card arrangements and text flow to the available width.
