The founder of Aikya Connect envisioned an exclusive, invite-only investment community for CIOs and senior investment professionals at single-family offices—a confidential and secure environment where trusted peers could share intelligence, perspectives, and insights on managing generational wealth.
To bring this vision to life, Aikya partnered with Lucid to create a distinctive and credible identity for the network, alongside a carefully considered ecosystem of touch points which would inspire confidence, foster candour, and create the necessary conditions for meaningful relationship building and value exchange across the network.
Starting with the name Aikya, the Sanskrit word for unity, we developed an identity centred on the idea of connection and belonging. The (inverted) dot of the “i” extends seamlessly into the word connect, creating a subtle visual link that reinforces the idea that every member is part of a wider, connected community. A considered palette of greens and yellow brings a sense of calm, balance, and optimism to the network—creating an atmosphere conducive to thoughtful discussion, rational decision-making, and the open exchange of ideas.
The identity was designed to extend seamlessly across every member touchpoint, creating a consistent and recognisable experience wherever Aikya Connect appears. From the member handbook and business cards to the website and social media templates, the visual language brings together the same considered typography, colour palette, imagery, and graphic devices.
The member handbook became a key expression of the brand, balancing editorial sophistication with clear, accessible information, while the digital touchpoints carry the identity into the everyday experience of the network. Across each application, the system remains flexible enough to serve different contexts while maintaining the sense of exclusivity, discretion, trust, and connection at the heart of the network.
