Onity

Visual storytelling for a reimagined mortgage servicing brand

Onity logo animation showcase

In 2024, Ocwen Financial Corporation rebranded as Onity Group Inc., marking a significant transformation in its corporate identity. As a leading non-bank mortgage servicer and originator, Onity sought a logo animation that encapsulated its renewed commitment to innovation, reliability, and customer-centric solutions.

Collaborating with Onity's design team and under the direction of the studio's art director, I contributed to the development of a concise logo animation. My responsibilities included storyboarding and shaping the motion sequence to align with Onity's brand attributes. The animation emphasizes energy flow and simplicity, reinforcing the brand's commitment to dependable and cutting-edge financial services.

Although I departed the studio midway through the engagement, I ensured the preparation of comprehensive case study assets, including the brand animation, to facilitate the project's completion.
