Swooping in to help a valiant AI start-up find its wings

Data-driven experts

Late 2023 introduced us to the ever-expanding world of AI, via Raiven — an exciting tech start-up in need of a visual makeover. The challenge? To translate the team’s data-handling prowess into a sophisticated and scalable brand, representing the company’s core values: responsibility, approachability, and curiosity.

We opted for a more refined look, featuring an achromatic colour scheme, lifted by a soft glowing yellow; code-inspired fonts; a punchy and versatile primary mark; and, of course, the signature “swoop” graphic.

Raiven’s new website is sleek and minimalistic, foregrounding accessibility and establishing the brand’s newly-digestible tone of voice. It also gave us the opportunity to collaborate with motion designer, Yoann Busnel, and photographer, Jack Spicer Adams, on some of the project’s key assets.

“I really enjoyed working with Hark Studio and would highly recommend them to anyone looking for a team of creatives that can make designs that are: sleek, impactful, and get to the core of what your brand represents.”
