Concept work for Simple via Pardon — proposed rebrand, not implemented.

Simple

Simple is the leading independent provider of knowledge, data, and access for the next generation of family offices — connecting them with experts and best-in-class suppliers across the ecosystem.

We developed a brand built on clarity: a refined ampersand-derived mark and a restructured wordmark, designed to bring simplicity and confidence to a famously complex world.

Ampersand study — refining the symbol at the heart of the mark
