One symbol, four modules

Four rounded shapes on one grid. A custom wordmark on the same geometry.

The brief

AI hiring software that had to feel solid, and still feel human.

Talentix is an AI operating system for recruitment. It builds a blueprint of who really fits a role. It finds candidates in 130+ databases. It writes to them in the company's own tone of voice and books the interviews. AI hiring tools tend to look cold and robotic, or generic and friendly. Talentix needed neither.

Goal

Feel like a solid base for modern hiring, while the candidate experience stays human.

Values

Intelligence, efficiency, quiet control, human.

Direction

Calm, dark and exact, with colour that carries meaning. A system that works from the tiny browser icon to the product screens.

What they really needed

Four modules, one flow. Each module is a piece of the mark, and together they are the AI agent.

Brand guidelines

Logo, clear space, variations, monochrome and misuse: the rules that keep Talentix consistent.

What makes it different

Talentix runs the whole hiring flow in the background, so recruiters can focus on people.

Intelligence

A blueprint of who really fits, not keyword matching.

Efficiency

Sourcing, outreach and scheduling in one system.

Quiet control

Deep, calm neutrals and clear structure.

Human

Outreach in the company's own voice.

Decisions

Five decisions, and what I rejected.

  1. 01
    One shape per module

    Blueprint, Scout, Reach and Meet each own a piece of the mark and a colour: blue, violet, magenta and pink.

    Rejected

    Structure Branch and Talented Cactus, two of the first-round directions.

  2. 02
    Together they are the agent

    Locked into one symbol, the four modules become one AI colleague that runs hiring in the background.

    Rejected

    Four separate module icons with no shared mark.

  3. 03
    Grounded in Talentix Dark

    Deep, calm neutrals give the product a sense of quiet control. Colour is saved for meaning.

    Rejected

    Cold robotic tech visuals or generic friendly pastels.

  4. 04
    A rounded geometric wordmark

    Friendly and legible next to dense pipelines and dashboards.

    Rejected

    Sharp, technical type that reads as a machine.

  5. 05
    Guidelines with real rules

    Clear space, variations, monochrome, misuse, colour pairing and type, so the team and developers apply the brand the same way.

    Rejected

    A logo file handed over with no rules.

04

App icon and the website

The symbol as an app icon, and the talentix.ai website, which I designed.
