Hephae develops ultra-high-temperature electronics for next-generation geothermal, enabling drilling and operations at depths and temperatures conventional systems can’t withstand. Their breakthrough technology is expanding access to limitless, renewable energy from the Earth’s core.
I partnered with the Hephae team to create a brand that matched their frontier spirit and precision engineering. The brief was to develop an identity engineered for extremes: confident, technical, and unmistakably future-facing. Hephae wanted to retain elements of their original identity for continuity and recognition, while modernising for their next fundraise.
We refined the orange roundel and paired it with a sleek new wordmark crafted in custom typography. The refreshed system introduces radial motifs referencing their drilling technology, alongside molten gradients, a streamlined palette, and digital topography imagery. By retaining aspects of their original identity but expanding their visual language, we built a refreshed identity that feels familiar yet distinctly forward-looking.
