The Most Recognized Brand in Bitcoin Finance

Unchained was scaling fast into their Series B, with a new CMO on the way, but their brand and website were stuck at version one: scattered assets, no real system, and a story that didn’t match the sophistication of the product.

With only a few months before a major raise and multiple stakeholders involved, they needed a brand and site that could support growth without confusing existing customers.

We rebuilt their brand from the ground up: a new logo, visual identity, and Webflow website designed to keep their mission clear while giving them room to launch new products, services, and sub‑brands. We aligned the executive team, navigated shifting leadership, and defended a strong creative direction so the rebrand shipped on time instead of getting stuck in committee.


Since launch, Unchained has treated this as their foundation. Their leadership has said that even if they evolve the brand in the future, the logo is “set in stone.” On top of the core rebrand and site, we’ve supported them with sub‑brands like Unchained Signature and Sound Advisory, product pages, sales assets, a 134‑page magazine, and over 100 custom illustrations, all built on the same scalable system.

The Challenge

Unchained didn’t have a brand system—just scattered assets without a foundation. We had to tear it all down and rebuild from scratch. With a looming Series B and a new CMO coming in, we had just months to deliver a complete rebrand and new website.

We weren’t only navigating creative decisions—we were aligning leadership, managing stakeholder expectations, and defending strong creative direction across shifting internal priorities. It wasn’t easy. But it worked.

Our Solution

For Unchained, we built a new brand system that worked to balance trust, growth, and scalability—without sacrificing their brand equity and the clarity of their mission.

The new logo, visual identity, and supporting brand elements were all designed with flexibility in mind, enabling the brand to evolve with the new products, services, and initiatives that Unchained would craft in the years to come.

The company’s leadership has even said that even if they expand or refresh their brand in the future, their logo is set in stone. We built a brand system that balanced trust, growth, and scalability—without sacrificing clarity. The new logo, visual identity, and supporting assets were all designed with flexibility in mind, enabling the brand to evolve with new products, services, and initiatives.

“Our rebrand really stands out from all of our competition. Blue Cyclops produced great work on an extremely tight timeline. They were receptive to feedback and pushed back effectively on suggestions I made that ultimately would not have looked good. Their expertise was much appreciated.”

The Process

We started with a collaborative stakeholder workshop to align vision and direction. From there, we moved into strategic exploration—developing three distinct creative directions that could scale with their business.

After leaving Unchained as their art director and returning to help them as a new agency partner, we had to regain alignment with a new executive team and defend the creative path already in motion. That included direct conversations with the CEO and key partners. We stuck to our strategy, kept the project on track, and launched the new identity on time.

Then we built a brand-new Webflow website, helped launch sub-brands like Unchained Signature and Sound Advisory, and created a scalable system of assets and templates the team could continue to use long after launch.

The Impact

Since launching the rebrand, Unchained closed a $60M Series B. The brand we built now supports dozens of landing pages, multiple sub-brands, and hundreds of custom illustrations and marketing assets. Highlights include: Complete rebrand from scratch (logo, visual system, brand architecture) New website with 30+ custom pages Creation of 3 sub-brands and 100+ illustrations 134-page branded thought leadership magazine Design support across teams, tools, and campaigns for close to 3 years.
