Detroit-based fintech platform Rocket Companies is kickstarting 2025 by refreshing its brand identity to celebrate the modern American Dream.
Made together with design studio Otherway, the latest efforts put all its services under the unified "Rocket" name to make a cohesive and inclusive homeownership platform.
Beyond this, the company's initiative also involves the acquisition of Rocket.com, as well as a reimagined logo, typeface, and color palette designed to resonate with diverse audiences.
Eight months later and we are finally launching a complete overhaul of the @RocketCompanies brand.

Part of its new visual identity include:
- New Halo Logo: A circular design representing trust and the homeownership journey, symbolizing security and generational wealth.
- Modern Word Marque: A redesigned, title-case wordmark that conveys approachability and aligns with the brand's updated tone.
- Custom Typefaces: Bespoke fonts honoring Nick Gilbert, son of Rocket’s founder Dan Gilbert, ensuring consistency across digital and print media.
- Refined Color Palette: A softer shade of Rocket Red to reflect compassion and inclusivity.
- Authentic Community Portraits: Visual storytelling through real client portraits celebrating America’s diverse communities.
Speaking exclusively to DesignRush, Rocket Companies Senior VP of Brand Marketing and Creative Excellence Peter Giorgi shared insights into the company’s rebranding efforts and its vision for the future:
"Our new visual identity is a celebration of Rocket's purpose: making homeownership more inclusive and more accessible. Every design element reflects our brand's commitment to innovation and humanity."
"This evolution is the first step toward establishing Rocket as a timeless, iconic brand that resonates deeply with the modern American dream," he added.
Meanwhile, Otherway Founder and CEO Jono Holt expressed gratitude for their participation in Rocket's project in an exclusive statement to DesignRush.
"Through the Rocket rebrand, we’re bringing the passion back to every single interaction, no matter how big or small it is. It means every detail is crafted by the most passionate people who genuinely care, because that’s what we all expect of the world’s greatest brands today. It’s how we bring about true brand transformation."
A Vision for Inclusive Homeownership
As part of its rebrand, Rocket has also streamlined its subsidiaries’ identities to simplify the consumer experience and underscore the company’s mission to make homeownership more accessible and inclusive.
Amrock, a title and appraisal management company, is now Rocket Close, while Amrock Title Insurance Company has been renamed Rocket Title Insurance Company.
Meanwhile, Rocket Pro TPO, which supports mortgage professionals, has rebranded to Rocket Pro.

Rocket's latest efforts were inspired by a recent study that revealed 92% of consumers aspire to own a home.
Looking ahead, the company plans to further showcase its brand transformation with a Super Bowl campaign highlighting homeownership’s unifying power.
The campaign is set to align with Rocket’s mission to "Help Everyone Home," emphasizing its brand values and commitment to empowering individuals across various demographics, including first-time homebuyers, Veterans, women, and Hispanic communities.
Efforts like these highlight the impact of thoughtful brand strategy, often crafted in collaboration with top branding agencies.
"This is just the first of many steps Rocket will take in 2025 as we embark upon this significant companywide transformation. This refreshed identity celebrates the humanity and diversity of the homeownership journey, redefining what it truly means to own a home in today’s America," Jonathan Mildenhall, CMO of Rocket Companies concluded.
Rocket isn't the only company that gave its brand a makeover. Recently, Walmart revealed its first brand refresh in 17 years.
