Carter Bank’s new logo, launched in October 2024, is the cornerstone of a broader rebrand designed to reflect the Bank’s transformation into a modern, approachable, and community-focused financial partner. The updated mark needed to honor the Bank’s legacy while signaling a bold step forward, a visual identity that could carry Carter Bank into the future with confidence and clarity.
The final logo design is clean, contemporary, and symbolic. The wordmark features a customized, modern serif typeface that balances trust and tradition with a fresh, forward-thinking tone. The bespoke letterforms offer a sense of stability and approachability, key attributes of the Carter Bank brand.
The mark’s subtle yet deliberate design choices reinforce the brand’s values. Rounded edges evoke friendliness and warmth, while strong lines convey resilience and dependability. The spacing and structure are intentionally crafted for legibility and flexibility across both digital and physical environments, ensuring consistent recognition wherever the brand appears.
Since its debut, the logo has been widely embraced by internal teams and external audiences alike. It has become a symbol of progress for the organization, one that employees feel proud to stand behind and customers feel more connected to. As the centerpiece of the rebrand, the logo has helped unify Carter Bank’s presence across all platforms and touchpoints, creating a more cohesive, compelling experience for all.
This logo isn’t just a new look—it’s a renewed commitment to the people and communities Carter Bank serves.
