ABGMI Visual Identity
ABGMI is a Michigan-based regional service office of one of the largest retirement plan administration organizations in the United States. They say they’re big enough to handle complexity, but small enough to manage the minor details, and we help them show up as a trustworthy national brand every day.
When ABGMI teamed up with GSM, they felt that their brand and look at the time felt dated and stale; they asked us to help develop a visual identity that made them look stronger and more contemporary, but without losing that classic formality for which they were recognized. We accomplished this by simplifying what they already had down to what was essential to their identity, and then cementing it with a range of crisp defining motifs.
We updated every element of ABG MI’s brand image including business cards, envelopes, letterheads, brochures, custom reports, and any medium that would demonstrate their professionalism in the retirement industry.

child brand: fly!
We built ABGMI’s financial wellness brand, fly!, to be all at once distinct from and harmonious with ABGMI’s visual brand. fly! stands apart as a more aspirational, energized, participant-targetted concept, but does so while using a color palette and style that marries easily to the more institutional, buttoned-up style that is ABGMI.
