Website
The perfect fintech website doesn’t exis… oh wait. Clear Street site is a seamless blend of sharp design and cutting-edge functionality, this website redefines how the financial industry can push with digital platforms. Designed for a highly discerning investment audience, it steers clear of flashy gimmicks. Instead, it focuses on a sturdy, target-appropriate foundation, balancing quality with only the most essential brand elements to reflect the industry’s professional standards.
We began by crafting a solid design system, prioritizing an information-first approach. This included restructuring the News & Content section and developing a tech stack that allowed Clear Street to integrate existing content seamlessly. From this foundation, we fully designed and implemented a website embodying the brand’s smoothness and lightness.
The 3D brand universe is both simple and impactful, with Clear Street Studio as the hero. It emerges from thin air, floating gracefully until users interact through scrolling. The design leverages a strategic color palette: Klein blue for institutional content, white for key statements, and dark tones for product displays, echoing trading platform interfaces.
Transitions position Clear Street Studio as the centerpiece, with a WebGL-rendered globe on the homepage reinforcing the platform’s global reach. Service sections feature bold, animated pictograms inspired by airline visuals, blending professionalism with a playful touch.
This website sets our personal benchmark for fintech design, balancing innovation with functionality. It’s proof that you can push boundaries without breaking them.
Clear Street is replacing the legacy infrastructure used across capital markets bringing capital markets into the future.
Rebranding
The rebranding process was driven by a vision to create a vibrant and resilient tone of voice. Through meticulously refined symbol, wordmarks, beziers, and typefaces, the iconic RGB Klein blue took center stage as the brand’s defining hue, complemented by white to build a monolithic yet fresh brand identity.
Motion played a pivotal role, with a comprehensive suite of custom-designed pictograms and icons to visually support content in ways traditional formats could not. These elements formed the foundation for micro-animations and interactions that enhanced the user experience, seamlessly delivered on scroll.
All these elements came together in a new Brand Hub, accessible at brand.clearstreet.io, showcasing assets that are not only beautifully crafted but also designed to be future-proof, aligning the brand for long-term success.

3D
The design narrative for Clear Street began with the logo: a stack of elements naturally drawing the eye upward, symbolizing growth and progress. Its name, “Clear,” evoked transparency, inspiring the use of clean, glass-like materials as foundational storytelling tools. Rather than relying on generic candle graphics, the website 3D loops are rooted in this concept, building upon an extended color palette to highlight the product’s key features.
Every aspect of the 3D storytelling—textures, shapes, and animations—derives directly from the logo’s essence. This approach ensures that the visual language is not only cohesive but also deeply tied to the brand’s identity, turning the logo into the creative blueprint for its broader narrative.
Enter Clear Street Studio, a portfolio management system purpose-built for growth—a product video that perfectly embodies this foundational principle.
To position Clear Street Studio as a revolutionary platform for portfolio, trading, and risk management, we created a visually striking product video aimed at resonating with industry leaders. The video amplifies the brand’s narrative, leveraging the logo’s modular elements to embody its values. It tells a compelling story: highlighting challenges and showcasing the clarity and solutions Clear Street brings to the table.
Büro exceeded all expectations, effortlessly translating our vision into a stunning and user-friendly website that perfectly captures our brand's essence. The team tackled every obstacle we presented them with resourcefulness and determination. Their unparalleled creativity, expertise, and attention to detail made the entire process seamless, resulting in a product we couldn’t be more proud of!
