CAAF

Ad fraud's newest adversary

CAAF is the Coalition Against Ad Fraud. As its name suggests, the initiative started by Adjust (but now independent) is a member-supported organization dedicated to eradicating ad-fraud in the app economy. By using cutting-edge technology, developing global standards, and gaining support from market participants across the app ecosystem, CAAF aims to attack mobile ad-fraud at its source.


We needed to put together an initial brand identity that reflected the serious nature of the subject, as well as its tech edge. To give fraudsters something to fear, CAAF needed to look strong, professional and dedicated to its cause. This is a first version of the branding.

Typography

The font choice

The focus of the company being a serious issue, the general direction needed to be serious and professional.


Mark Pro is the font family that was chosen across the board for its reliable, recognizable style, as well as its classic sans-serif legibility. It's still current and energetic, but remains a safe and grounded font that fits a serious coalition aiming at pushing legislation.

Colors

Solid blues

A nice set of blues was chosen to represent the coalition, based on their quality of appearing calm yet secure. A nice combination of deep dark blue and lighter highlights and shades gave it just the right depth, as well as a nice gradient to act as occasional background and breaker throughout the material.

Website

Get the message across

Since CAAF deals with a serious topic and doesn't only target young tech-oriented people, the website had for mission to get the message across in a simple, recognizable way.


It uses a classic layout that emphasizes explaining the mission and objectives, with a hint of credentials and support. The idea for using photos came from the mission: helping people stay safe online. We wanted to show humans to connect to the objective.


Visual elements punctual the website and all material, like the logo shape outline that comes back through it all, to reinforce brand recognition in a subtle way.
