Our design partnership with Open Ownership

Designing for clarity, advancing transparency

Open Ownership drives greater corporate transparency across the world by making it easy to publish and access high-quality, linked data about who owns companies. As their design partner for many years, we’ve helped them to communicate complex ideas with clarity, through professional reports, guides with practical layouts, and infographics that tell a story.

Branding Design

Logo

Open Ownership asked us to refresh their logo to appear more modern and to more closely reflect their work. The new logo combines an authoritative sans-serif font – reflecting their expertise – and a simple emblem symbolic of ownership relationships. The emblem draws on the design language of the Beneficial Ownership Visualisation System (BOVS) we also developed for them.

Their work is consistently excellent. They are so good at responding to short deadlines and pulling out all the stops.

Strategy 2025–30

Open Ownership set out a bold 5-year vision and it deserved to be presented just as boldly. With every page, we considered how to get the point across clearly, visualise data points, and make the ideas come to life. Many of the infographics were also desiged for repurposing as social media posts, allowing Open Ownership to spread the word across multiple channels.

Summary Guide

This 8-page A5 booklet provided summary information for conference delegates to guide local implementation of beneficial ownership transparency. A lot of information needed to be conveyed in a clear and concise way. Graphics and colour helped to organise each section.

Fact Sheet

Everything OpenOwnership is about had to be condensed into just two easy-to-understand and visually interesting pages.

The Factsheet combines an infographical map with iconography, diagrams and clearly set text to communicate OpenOwnership’s mission, vision, benefits, approach and successes.

The document was prepared both as a digital and print version.

It’s always a pleasure working with Convincible. Inventive solutions are always found for any challenges we encounter. I thoroughly recommend them.

Infographic Design

Inventing a visual language to clarify company ownership

Transparency about who owns and controls companies is important. We designed the Beneficial Ownership Visualisation System (BOVS) to help OpenOwnership and other organisations clearly illustrate complex ownership relationships. Any organisation can visualise the relationships between people, companies, states, and other entities in a consistent way by illustrating the situation using a BOVS Diagram.
