Latimer

Latimer — named for the engineer and inventor Lewis Latimer — invests in innovation by connecting Black entrepreneurs with opportunities for funding, mergers, and acquisitions.

Latimer came to Adjy in early 2021, seeking to establish messaging and a visual identity for the new venture.

Adjy collaborated with the Latimer team on a total brand build out, including the creation of a logo, style guide, presentation decks, and more. Web design is in process now.

Taking inspiration from Lewis Latimer as a historical figure, Adjy crafted a brand that juxtaposes old and new. We paired Latimer’s old engineering sketches with a sleek new logo, and layered old black and white photos with fresh, contemporary photos of Black innovators. The result is a brand that works to boldly fund the future of Black entrepreneurship while paying homage to the great thinkers and inventors of the past.
