In 2022, during my time at anacouto, I worked on the new branding for icarros Itaú, launched in March 2023.
Created to strengthen mobility in Brazil, icarros is Itaú Unibanco's automotive marketplace, focused on digitizing how people buy, sell, and finance vehicles. With growing demand for used cars and many platforms still focused on hard selling, icarros sought a renewed value proposition and a new way to connect with people.
Research — executive and partner interviews, focus groups, quantitative studies, and market analysis — revealed a key insight: buying or selling a car is a moment of change that matters to people. With an easy, reliable, and accessible experience, icarros could help them take a big step in their lives. The brand took on the purpose of "Guiding people's desire for movement."
The new identity needed to express this personality while staying close to Itaú. In a segment dominated by blue, orange became the brand's own color, supported by purple for vibrancy and gray for credibility. Typography, photography, and illustration reinforce the idea of movement, and the verbal identity brings energy, storytelling, and clarity.
