Visual identity for an independent quantitative trading firm
GSA CapitalPentagram, 2024
Info and credits



Established in 1932, the British Film Institute’s Sight and Sound magazine has long been a global authority on film, covering everything from arthouse cinema and experimental works to television and Hollywood. Pentagram was commissioned to reimagine the brand—led by a complete redesign of the magazine—creating a powerful new identity that unites print and digital while celebrating film as a unique art form.
The refreshed logo reinterprets a 1970s design using Aldo Novarese’s Eurostile, reflecting an era that saw film as central to culture. The magazine’s new design language draws inspiration from clapperboards, featuring bold grids, dramatic type, and striking use of black alongside a vibrant supporting palette. Typography pairs Plaak for headlines with Big Caslon for body text, combining impact with editorial sophistication.
With redesigned layouts, updated editorial sections, and collaborations such as Black Film Bulletin, Sight and Sound enters a new era under Editor-in-Chief Mike Williams. Pentagram’s confident rebrand ensures this storied publication continues to inspire cinephiles worldwide—honouring its heritage while looking to the future of film.

Visual identity for an independent quantitative trading firm
GSA CapitalPentagram, 2024
Info and credits



Founded in 2005, GSA Capital is a London- and New York-based quantitative finance firm specialising in systematic trading across global markets. Independent and science-driven, GSA combines pioneering technology with a collaborative culture that values curiosity and rigour. To stand apart from more corporate competitors and attract top quantitative and tech talent, Pentagram was commissioned to evolve the firm’s identity—bringing its iconic Möbius strip to life through motion and a refined visual language.
The Möbius strip, a symbol of infinite continuity, remains central to GSA’s brand—reflecting its generative approach and limitless perspective. A new symbol, crafted from impossible geometry, fuses mathematics and finance to express GSA’s pursuit of innovation and precision. Paired with the bold Neue Machina Plain wordmark, the logo embodies clarity, intelligence, and momentum.
A distinctive palette of Coral and Aqua highlights data flows—marking loss and gain, error and progress—while the visual system extends across digital and motion applications. Confident yet understated, Pentagram’s redesign captures GSA’s essence: a future-facing firm driven by science, collaboration, and a relentless curiosity to push the boundaries of quantitative finance.
