The rule they were rewriting

New immigrants to Canada were locked out of credit systems despite having earning power and financial need, as their credit histories don’t transfer from their home country. Without credit access, building stability becomes a significant challenge.

Logos, submarks, color scheme, and typography specifications for Woveo.

The rule we rewrote together

We helped Woveo formalize the community savings model – common among immigrant families – into a credit-building platform rooted in trust and opportunity. By rebranding MIQ Financial into Woveo, we created an identity that celebrates both origin and opportunity:

Crafted an inclusive name and identity

After evaluating over 120 potential names, “Woveo” emerged as a symbol of interconnectedness, reflecting the strength of community. A vibrant color palette honored global currencies and Canadian roots.

We positioned Woveo as the platform that helps new Canadians pool resources, build credit, and create better financial futures.
