MJ Whitman

Founded in 1974 by celebrated deep value investor Martin J. Whitman, MJ Whitman Inc. is a full-service broker/dealer firm affiliated with the Third Avenue family of mutual funds.

The assignment was to create a visual imprint that would tie the firm’s different operations — sales, research, trading and portfolio management into a single, distinct brand. The challenge lay in devising a theme that would underscore the range and quality of MJ Whitman’s services while reinforcing the firm’s reputation for deft execution of offbeat value investing strategies.

Langton Cherubino Group created a new identity system using representative illustrations to underscore the firm’s research strengths and unconventional investment insights. The look is warm and restrained, calculated to appeal to sophisticated but conservative equity investors, MJ Whitman’s core clientele.
