CCF : the return of an iconic french brand

Arising from the acquisition of the HSBC France network by My Money Group, the new CCF bank positions excellence, expertise, and fluidity as central pillars of its strategy.

This iconic French banking brand, with a history spanning over a century, is making a triumphant return today. The logo, brand positioning, and overall universe, meticulously crafted by the Carré Noir agency, seamlessly integrate with the newly designed sonic identity by Dissonances.

A challenge of modernity

Having thrived for over a century, CCF maintains remarkable renown and goodwill, even after nearly two decades of absence. The brand continues to exude the confidence and solidity derived from its illustrious history.

The task at hand was to infuse it with a modern sound palette, directing it towards capturing the interest and commitment of a younger audience, all while preserving its traditional essence inherited from the past.

The CCF sound : a french touch

To establish itself as a distinguished French banking brand with a rich heritage and to engage new audiences effectively, CCF has embraced a modern and distinctive sonic identity. Embodying a chic and relaxed French electro ambiance, the incorporation of the noble and warm tones of the cello seamlessly morphed into a MiniMoog synth sound creates an alluring auditory experience. Accompanied by an infectious beat that compels one to nod along, the CCF track sets the perfect tone for the brand.
