As this is a finance related website, I chose darker colors to represent professionalism and I chose a lighter shade of blue to give users a slightly casual and less pressured feeling. There is no fancy font as I want to present a readable website. The logo used is 72/? because the rule of 72 is a known equation that helps to calculate the number of years required to double your investment. So for example, if your returns is 6%, 72/6 would be 12. Which means that it would take you 12 years to double your investment.
