From a name on a building to a brand the city can stand behind.
After 17 years advising clients on his own, Adam Knaust was building something bigger: a boutique wealth firm with a team, a process and room to grow.
Verant needed a brand that felt established on day one, without losing the personal relationships that built the practice.

Starting a firm usually means starting from zero. Verant wasn’t.
Clients already trusted Adam. What the firm didn’t have yet was a name and a look that could hold a whole team: advisors, planners and the process behind every plan.
And financial brands tend to blur together: a column, a mountain, a navy serif. Verant needed to look solid without looking like everyone else.
A prospect meets a logo, a website and a business card well before a first meeting. If those feel thin, the meeting may never happen.
For a firm launching under a new name, the brand had to carry years of experience from its very first day.
Does your brand look as established as you are?
Verant’s own promise said it best: Purpose. Process. Prosperity.
Every choice in the new identity points back to what Verant Wealth really stands for.

Overlapping strokes lock together into one strong V, the way a good plan brings budgeting, investing, taxes and legacy into one direction.
Deep navy for stewardship and steadiness, a brighter sky blue for optimism about what comes next.
Wide, confident capitals carry the name, with “Wealth” beneath in the lighter blue. Clean on a statement, strong on a sign.
Understand what matters, follow a disciplined process, build lasting prosperity. The brand gives that promise a home.
One look from the website to the office wall, and out into the community Verant serves.
Purpose. Process. Prosperity.
The new identity lets Verant introduce itself as what it already was: an established practice, now with a name to match.
